Seen from outside, they look like dark cutout shapes in a brightly lit window: witch, cat, bat, and moon as window silhouettes. Our coloring page shows several of these popular designs side by side. You can print this coloring page for free and start coloring right away.
The different figures make a great exercise for recognizing shapes and designing each one individually.
Why window silhouettes are made for the street
Unlike decor you look at yourself indoors, window silhouettes are deliberately made to be seen from outside: cut from black paper and taped inside the window, they only really come to life against the room's light — for every trick-or-treat group walking by on the street.
