Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of art supplies work best for this Halloween pumpkin coloring page?
Crayons, colored pencils, and washable markers all work wonderfully for this activity. If your child prefers using markers or paint, printing on thicker paper or cardstock will keep the ink from soaking through.
What should we do if we do not have the exact crayon shades listed for this pumpkin?
There is no need to worry about finding precise shade matches. Any standard shades of orange, yellow, green, brown, and blue you already have at home will look fantastic.
How can I help a preschooler who cannot read color words yet?
You can color a small swatch over each word in the color key before handing the page to your child. This allows pre-readers to match the numbers to the colors completely on their own using visual cues.
