A pumpkin-shaped candy pail with a carved grin and a sturdy handle, filled to the top with wrapped sweets. This free trick or treat coloring page is the classic object of the night — the bucket every child actually carries.
Who this page is for
Ages 4–9. The pail is one large friendly shape and the sweets on top are a handful of smaller ones, so the page works for a quick pass or a careful one.
Things to talk about while you color
- “Trick or treat” as a phrase only shows up in print in the 1920s — the trick half was once taken quite seriously.
- Before plastic pails, children carried pillowcases, paper bags or their own hats.
- In some countries children sing a song or tell a joke at the door before they are given anything.
Make it an activity
Color the pail first, then let your child decide what is in it by coloring each sweet — and tell you what flavour each one is as they go.
How to print it so it looks great
Use Fit to page on A4 or US Letter. Coloring it, cutting it out and taping it to a real bucket makes a decent five-minute decoration.
