Witch on a Broomstick Coloring Page

This witch is mid-flight, leaning forward with both gloved hands gripping the broomstick while her cloak billows out behind her like a flag. She wears a big floppy hat with a folded-over point and a square buckle on the band, has round cheeks with two small blush circles, wavy shoulder-length hair, and curly-toed boots tucked up under her dress. The broom has a fanned-out bristle end with a few line details, and the stick runs the length of the page from her hands down to the bristles.

Most of what's here is drawn in big, forgiving shapes: the hat, the cloak and the dress all give a child plenty of room to color without worrying about staying inside tiny lines. The hat buckle, the eyes, the blush spots and the bristle lines are the fiddly bits, so this page mixes broad sweeps of color with a few small areas that ask for a steadier hand, maybe a thinner crayon or a fine marker. It's also a nice one to talk through while coloring — what color cloak a witch would wear, whether her hat matches her boots, why she looks happy rather than scary.

There is nothing frightening about her expression or pose, so this suits gentle Halloween coloring as easily as any other day of the year. With one clear figure and no crowded background, it sits on the easier side of the Fantasy & Fairy Tale sheets and works well for a preschooler coloring mostly on their own, with a grown-up on hand for the smaller details like the buckle and face.
