The witches in this collection don't cackle or cast scary spells. They bake cat-shaped cookies, wobble through their first flying lesson and read bedtime stories to their cats. Our Cute Witches and Black Cats coloring pages include 66 free printable designs, and each one downloads as a PDF in US Letter or A4.
Toddlers can start with a single pointy hat, a bubbling cauldron or a black cat curled up asleep. Preschoolers get little witches stirring tiny cauldrons, kittens hiding in hats and a witch school full of wand practice, while older kids and adults can color moonlit rooftops, a witches' market and detailed spellbook still lifes.
🖍 Coloring Tip:Black cats don't need to be colored solid black - charcoal gray or deep navy keeps the fur details visible, and bright green eyes really stand out.
🖍 Coloring Tip:On the potion pages, color every bottle a different bright shade like lime green or magenta, leaving a small white streak on each for a shiny glass look.
5 paper crafts using Cute Witches and Black Cats coloring pages
All five of these use paper, glue, scissors and a few simple extras you probably already have. They're easy to set up at the kitchen table or for a whole class.
Bubbling cauldron pop-up card
The round cauldron bubbling over is perfect for a pop-up card. When the card opens, paper bubbles spring up out of the pot like a potion that's just about ready.
It makes a sweet Halloween card for grandparents or a friend.
You'll need:
The bubbling cauldron page
A sheet of card folded in half
Scissors and glue
Scrap paper for extra bubbles
How to do it:
Color the cauldron and cut it out.
Cut two short slits into the fold of the card to make a small pop-up step.
Glue the cauldron onto the step so it stands up when the card opens.
Glue a few paper bubbles above the rim so they look like they're floating up.
Write a short message inside before handing it over.
Swishing tail black cat
Turn any of the sitting black cats into a moving toy by cutting off the tail and reattaching it with a split pin. Kids can swish the tail back and forth, just like a real cat does when it's thinking.
The black cat sitting with a curly tail and the cat on the welcome mat both work well.
You'll need:
A colored black cat page
Card stock
One split pin fastener
Scissors and glue stick
How to do it:
Glue the colored page onto card stock and let it dry.
Cut out the cat and then cut the tail off where it meets the body.
Make a small hole near the base of the tail and the matching spot on the body.
Join them with the split pin and swish away.
Add a paper bow tie or a tiny witch hat for extra fun.
Make-your-own spellbook
Gather favorite pages from the collection into a small homemade spellbook. The open spellbook with botanical drawings, the shelf of funny potion bottles and the witch measuring ingredients are great pages to start with.
Kids can make up a silly spell for every page and tell it out loud.
You'll need:
6 to 8 colored pages
Two sheets of card for the covers
Hole punch
Ribbon or yarn
How to do it:
Color the pages and stack them between the two covers.
Punch two holes along the left edge.
Thread ribbon through the holes and tie a bow.
Decorate the front cover with stars and moons.
Older kids can write the spells inside on sticky notes.
Potion recipe matching game
Shrink the potion bottles, herb bundles, frog and toadstool pictures down to small cards for a simple matching game. Each player draws a "recipe" card and has to find the right ingredients from the pile.
It's good practice for memory and taking turns.
You'll need:
Pages printed at about 25 percent size
Card stock
Scissors and glue stick
A small bowl to use as the cauldron
How to do it:
Print two copies of each small picture, color them and glue them onto card.
Cut them into cards and lay one set face down as the ingredients.
Use the second set as recipe cards and draw three at a time.
Find the matching ingredients and drop them into the bowl.
Whoever finishes their recipe first gets to say the magic word.
Moonlit witch window mobile
The witch flying across the giant full moon page makes a lovely hanging decoration. Cut out the witch and her cat and hang them in front of a big paper moon so they gently turn in the breeze.
Paper bats from the moonlit pages can fly alongside them.
You'll need:
The flying witch and moonlit pages
A paper plate
Thread or fishing line
Tape and scissors
How to do it:
Color the paper plate pale yellow to make the moon.
Color and cut out the witch on her broom and a few bats.
Tape thread to each one and hang them at different lengths below the moon.
Hang the mobile near a window where it can spin.
Hang it low enough that little ones can watch it move.
In Britain and Japan, black cats are often thought to bring good luck. Long ago, sailors liked to keep a black cat on board their ship because they believed it would help them get home safely.
Once the cats and cauldrons are done, there's plenty more spooky-season fun waiting. Head over to our main Halloween coloring pages section for pumpkins, costumes and more.
