Halloween Monster Match-and-Color: 4 Free Pages
Try four gentle Halloween monster coloring pages with a simple shape-matching game. Download each original PNG separately.
Some children enjoy the playful side of Halloween but not spooky faces or dark scenes. These four friendly monster pages keep the task simple: look at the monster’s main body shape, find the same shape among four choices, circle that shape, and then color the character. All you need is a pencil and a few crayons.
Each sheet is a separate free BoysColor printable. Print one for a short activity or use all four as a matching station. The bright cover above is an illustration; the actual black-and-white games are below. These original characters are not from a show or the optional paid collection.
Match first, then color
Show one sheet at a time. A child can trace the monster’s outline with a finger before looking at the four smaller shapes. The choices always run left to right: circle, triangle, square, star. There are no letter labels on the pages.
- Trace the main body shape.
- Find and circle the matching outline among the four choices.
- Color the monster in any pattern your child likes.
1. Free round monster matching page
Trace the curve of the monster’s body. After finding the matching choice, invent a color pattern. For another quick round, look for a round object in the room.
- Trace the round outline.
- Circle the matching shape below.
- Color the monster and name another round object.

- Find its four broad sides.
- Circle the matching shape below.
- Add a pretend costume detail and color it.

Ask your child: How would this friendly monster greet a Halloween party?
Answer key and an easy variation
The choices run left to right as circle, triangle, square, and star. The correct choice is first for the round monster, second for the pointy monster, third for the boxy monster, and fourth for the starry monster. If four choices feel like too many, cover two with a blank piece of paper. If the game feels easy, invite your child to draw a fifth monster with a new body shape on the back.
