A dark witch silhouette on her broom drifts past a giant, round full moon — this picture is THE classic Halloween image, familiar from countless movies, books, and decorations. Instead of lots of detail, this design lives on one strong, memorable contrast: the black silhouette against the glowing moon disc. This full moon witch coloring page is free to print, so you can start coloring right away.
Since this design works mainly with large shapes rather than fine lines, it's also a great way to experiment with black-and-white contrast or silhouette technique — a fun change of pace from most other coloring pages.
Why this design is one of the most iconic Halloween images
Almost no image is as associated with Halloween as the witch flying past the full moon — you'll find it on postcards, window decor, book covers, and in cartoons. The reason: this simple, bold visual language works even from a distance and in low light, which makes it perfect for decoration purposes. For kids, it's also a great opportunity to talk about the moon itself — the full moon is a fascinating topic all on its own, witch or no witch.
