Frequently Asked Questions
What supplies work best for coloring this moonlit haunted house scene?
Colored pencils and crayons work wonderfully on standard copy paper because they allow children to fill in details with good control. If your child prefers markers or brush pens, we recommend printing the sheet on cardstock so the colors do not bleed through.
Can younger preschoolers complete this activity independently?
Children around age four might need a little help identifying the color key and finding matching numbers. Working together on the first few shades is a great way to build their confidence before they color on their own.
What if my child does not have the exact shades listed in the color key?
Feel free to substitute with whatever supplies you have on hand, such as using regular purple instead of dark purple or sky blue instead of turquoise. The color key is simply a friendly guide, and creative variations make the finished picture unique.
