Halloween History & Traditions
The Origins of Halloween
Halloween traces its roots to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. Over time, it evolved into a day of activities like trick-or-treating, carving pumpkins, and celebrating the supernatural.
Learning about Halloween traditions through coloring activities helps children understand cultural history in an engaging way.

Halloween coloring pages offer educational opportunities beyond just fun. They help children learn about symbols and traditions, develop fine motor skills, and express creativity in a seasonal context.
