A human body, but instead of a face, a glowing pumpkin head: our pumpkinhead guardian turns the classic Jack-o'-Lantern decoration into a character all its own. Drawn in a cute collectible-figure style with a big head and big eyes, he looks like a Halloween decoration that came to life. You can print this coloring page for free and start coloring right away.
The round pumpkin shape with its carved face leaves plenty of room to experiment with different shades of orange.
Why a decoration idea becomes a character all its own
The carved pumpkin is normally a quiet object sitting by the door — this guardian turns it into a moving figure with personality. You can imagine him watching over an entire pumpkin patch, or wandering the Halloween night as a loyal companion. That imaginative twist makes him one of the most creative characters in the collection.
