Did you know?
Did you know that pumpkins and cats are both big stars of Halloween? Long ago, people carved scary faces into pumpkins to light them up with candles and keep away the spooky spirits on Halloween night. Now, we use pumpkins as fun decorations, and some even look like cats! Cats, especially black ones, are also popular during Halloween because they were thought to be mystical animals with special powers. Combining cats and pumpkins in coloring pages brings together two of the most iconic symbols of Halloween for extra fun!
Fun fact
Fun Fact: Did you know that cats are often seen as guardians in Halloween stories? It’s because, in the past, people believed that cats could protect their homes from ghosts and spirits during Halloween. And what about pumpkins? They weren't always used for carving jack-o'-lanterns. Originally, people used turnips or potatoes! But when this tradition came to America, pumpkins were used because they were bigger and easier to carve. Now, imagine a cat peeking out from a big, bright pumpkin—it's just the kind of playful scene that makes Halloween coloring so much fun!
