With all the interesting characters that are included in these graveyard coloring pages, such as the crooked gate and sleepy ghost, you’re sure to have fun coloring in the design! The cemetery picture can be colored either as a misty Halloween evening, or maybe with soft colors and some cheerful little visitors.
Try starting with the hedgehog sitting next to the headstone first.
If you prefer more quiet pictures, then don’t worry! There are many other items around that would make good subjects for your colored pencils and crayons including an angel monument, a trailing willow tree, and even a cat resting on a tomb.
Free Printable Graveyard Coloring Pages
These free printable graveyard coloring pages come in PDF format for US Letter paper (8.5 by 11 inches). If you want, when opening this print file you can pick “Fit” in your printer options so that none of the picture’s edges go near the margin.
Regular paper is fine with crayons, but if you’re using colored pencils for the ivy, carved stone, and more detailed cemetery coloring sheets for adults we recommend it!
Try Different Colors When Coloring a Graveyard
Your graveyard coloring sheets will also look amazing as little Halloween decorations when they are complete! Here are three color ideas for you to try out before turning your favorite coloring sheet into something you can display or share.
1. Moonlit Blue Wall Art
You can decide you want an owl in your cemetery scene this time and choose navy as the color of your sky. Then, using a pale blue you can paint around your headstones to give some detail to them.
For some extra flair on your dark night, you can use yellow for a little moonlight and leave a couple of the edges that are going to be exposed white to show the light hitting the stones. Finally, glue all your pieces together and stick your finished picture down on your gray colored construction paper.
Hang up near your Halloween decorations.
2. Mossy Green Bookmarks
If you’re looking to recreate an ivy-covered cross, then olive leaves with brown soil might be just what you need. Create a winding, overgrown path by gluing some leaves to create a tall strip of color, which you can cut out of your picture and glue to cardstock!
Now you have yourself a cemetery bookmark perfect for reading a ghost story tonight.
3. Pastel Ghost Greeting Cards
You can picture the sleeping ghosts at your house this weekend. You can have your picnic among the graves as usual! (Yes, you are still going strong.) So today you can try some printable Halloween colors that will work great with softer shades of paint.
You’ll love using these shades on your coloring pages: lavender shadows, peach treats, and mint grass! Print the illustration a little smaller than normal. Color it and then glue it into the middle of a piece of folded cardstock (leaving room inside for your kid to scribble out a fun Halloween message)!
The pink blanket makes the picnicking ghosts pretty cozy after all!
We hope that you’ll be able to spend some cozy afternoon with your favorite graveyard coloring pages and crayons!
