Look around you and you will probably find a lot of adults who really love to pull out the Crayolas and stay inside the lines. One of the biggest joys of childhood is one of the ones that starts very early for most kids - coloring. There is just something magical about placing colored pencil or crayons to a piece of paper and working magic with color. I don't think any of us ever really outgrows the sense of joy and wonder that coloring brings. In fact, I am convinced that one major reason people decide to have children is to have the opportunity to sit down and color once again - without anyone looking at them sideways.

So, if you are in charge of some children this year - whether they are your own children, the friends of your youngsters, or a schoolroom full of wee ones - you should not let the Halloween time of year go by without giving them the opportunity to fill in some beautiful or chilling or just plain fun Halloween colouring pages.
