Trick-or-treating has roots in older autumn customs from Ireland and Scotland, where people went door to door in costume on the night of October 31. The words "trick or treat" became popular in North America in the 1930s and 1940s, and today it is one of the most loved parts of Halloween for kids.
Coloring ideas: make the pumpkin costume bright orange with a green stem and leaves, and leave the ghost white or give it a soft lavender outline. The witch can wear any color you like, from classic black and purple to green or pink. Color the jack-o'-lantern's face yellow so it looks lit up, and give the treat bags fun patterns.
This page has three characters, so it works well for siblings or friends coloring together, one costume each. Younger kids can focus on the costumes, while older kids can add detail to the house, the porch steps and the leaves on the path.
