Here is a pumpkin lantern, also called a Jack-o'-lantern, one of the most famous symbols of Halloween! This tradition comes from Ireland: in the past, people carved turnips or beets into scary lanterns, before the pumpkin became the favorite vegetable for this celebration, especially in North America.

The pumpkin you see here has a big glowing smile and wears a witch's hat in purple with a golden buckle. This mix reminds us of two major Halloween symbols: the lantern that lights up the night and the pointed hat associated with witches and magic.

When coloring this page, you can use bright orange for the pumpkin, shiny yellow for its eyes and mouth to look like candlelight, and mysterious purple for the hat. You can also create your own original version with unusual colors, like a green pumpkin or a red hat. This Halloween Coloring Page is a great way to learn about the history of the holiday and its symbols, while letting your imagination run free!
