32 Witch Coloring Pages – Broomsticks, Cauldrons, and Cats

Every good story needs a witch, and this collection gives kids thirty-two chances to draw their own. These witches are the friendly kind: broom-riding grandmas, giggling apprentices, and kitchen-garden herbalists, not the scary storybook villains. Between bubbling cauldrons, black cats, and cozy cottages, there is a scene here for any young artist who loves a bit of harmless magic and a lot of color.

Friendly Witches

Young Witch Flying on Her Broom

A smiling girl witch with long flowing hair and a wide-brimmed hat with a buckle sits sideways on a flying broom. Two stars sit in the upper corners and a cloud below. The large, open shapes suit younger colorers, and the bristles of the broom take well to several shades of brown.

Smiling Witch Portrait with Full Moon

A close-up portrait of a smiling witch with a long pointed nose, freckles and curly shoulder-length hair. She wears a floppy pointed hat with a square buckle, a cloak clasped by a round button, and a big full moon and three stars behind her. The freckles and curls give the face plenty of small areas for careful shading.

Young Witch and Cat by the Fence

Over a grassy meadow, a laughing young witch in a pointed hat and bell-sleeved dress skims along on a straw broom. A smiling cat with whiskers sits on a wooden fence post nearby, and a scalloped hedge runs across the background. The straw bristles and the cat’s fluffy chest fur give fine strokes a place to shine.

Grandma Witch Knitting by the Fireplace

A bespectacled grandma witch sits in a rocking chair, knitting a long striped scarf beside a stone fireplace with a crackling fire. A sleeping cat is curled up at her feet, a basket of yarn stands on the floor, and a round window shows a crescent moon and stars. The stone bricks, the scarf stripes and the yarn balls make many small, separate areas, so this sheet suits patient colorers.

Witch Flying Over Cornfield and Windmill

Long hair and a cape stream behind a smiling witch as she rides a straw broom over rolling fields. A windmill and a round moon fill the sky, and three corn cobs and a round hay bale sit in the foreground. The corn kernels are small, so they take a sharp pencil.

Two Witches Sharing One Broom

Two laughing young witches in wide-brimmed pointed hats sit side by side on a single broom, one holding a woven basket with a potion bottle. A crescent moon, three stars and a scalloped cloud bank frame the night sky. The checked basket weave and the long wavy hair are the finest parts of the drawing.

Cauldron and Potions

Witch Stirring a Bubbling Cauldron with Cat

Bubbles float everywhere in this kitchen scene, where a laughing witch stirs a foamy cauldron with a long wooden spoon while a fluffy cat with a foam beard grins beside it. Dried herb bundles hang from a rod, and an arched stone window shows a crescent moon and two stars. The many round bubbles are easy, open shapes to fill in.

Big Round Cauldron on Three Logs

A huge round-bellied cauldron stands on three short logs, with curling steam rising past a big full moon. A young witch in a floppy pointed hat stirs it with a long wooden spoon, and a kitten sits beside it. The cauldron’s smooth belly is a wide-open area that suits a bold, even color.

Young Witch with Potion Bottles and Cauldron

Five corked potion bottles in different shapes line a wooden shelf, each with a liquid level and small stars. Behind them a smiling long-haired witch in a floppy hat stirs a cauldron, and a hanging herb bundle with four blossoms sits at the top right. The round bottles are the easiest to color, and the leaves of the herb bundle are the most detailed part.

Witch Picking Herbs with Mushroom Basket

A smiling long-haired witch in a pointed hat bends over a garden bed to pluck a sprig of rosemary, holding a woven basket with two mushrooms and leaves. A low stone wall runs behind her, and rosemary, parsley and broad-leaf herbs fill the foreground. The basket weave and the narrow rosemary leaves are the finest detail.

Open Spellbook with Frog and Quill

An open recipe book on a wooden stand shows an oak leaf, a leafy sprig, two mushrooms and two potion bottles. A smiling frog perches on the page edge, with a round window, a shelf holding a potted plant and two bottles, a feather quill and an inkwell around it.

Witch Watering a Giant Sunflower

A young witch in a buckled pointed hat tips a round star-marked potion flask over a tiny seedling, three drops falling, while a tall sunflower with a dotted seed head towers beside her. A picket fence, a small cottage and two clouds fill the background. The sunflower’s dotted center and many petals are the fussiest parts.

Witch Selling Potions at a Market Stall

Behind a scalloped-awning market stall, a smiling witch holds up a star-marked potion flask while a boy and a girl with a hair bow look on. Three more bottles with a flower, a heart and another flower sit on the counter, and a winding path with two round trees fills the background. The awning stripes and wavy hair are the most detailed areas.

The Witch’s House

Witch Girl and Cat at the Crooked Cottage

Under a full moon and three stars, a young witch in a buckled hat stirs a bubbling cauldron while a smiling cat sits beside it. Behind them stands a cottage with a scalloped-shingle roof, a round-topped door, a vine with leaves and a smoking brick chimney. Two pumpkins sit in the grass at the bottom. The roof shingles and the vine leaves are the finest details.

Treehouse Hut with Rope Ladder

A little wooden hut with a shingled roof and stubby chimney sits in the fork of a big oak. It has an arched plank door, a round-topped window and a hanging lantern, and a four-rung rope ladder runs down to the roots. The railed deck, a small cloud and scalloped leaf clusters complete the scene.

Cat and Potion Bottle at Round Window

A cat with closed, smiling eyes sits on a window ledge beside a round corked potion bottle, in front of a big round window with a cross-shaped frame. Two large stars fill the upper panes, and the bottle holds two stars and several bubbles. The wide, open shapes suit bold coloring.

Witch Choosing a Broom from the Closet

A smiling young witch with long wavy hair lifts one of three straw brooms out of an open closet, where a pointed hat hangs on a hook. A kitten looks up at her from the floor, and a three-legged cauldron and an arched window fill the corners. The broom bristles are the finest detail on the sheet.

Scarecrow in Witch Hat at Pumpkin Gate

A smiling scarecrow in a pointed witch hat with a flower band stands behind a wooden picket gate, a patch sewn on its coat. Three ribbed pumpkins, three sunflowers and maple leaves fill the foreground, and a cottage with a chimney sits behind. The pumpkins and gate planks are big, open shapes, while the straw hair and sunflower petals call for a steadier hand.

Attic Witch Brewing with Kitten on Round Rug

Under a sloped attic ceiling, a kneeling witch in a wide-brimmed hat stirs a small cauldron while a kitten watches. Dried herb bundles, a round cross-framed window, a checkered bed and a bookshelf fill the room, and a patterned oval rug lies on the floor. The rug’s leaf border and the bed’s plaid quilt are the most detailed parts.

Witch’s Friends

Kitten in Witch Hat on Cushion

A fluffy kitten with big round eyes and a curled tail sits upright on a tasseled cushion, wearing a tilted witch hat with a square buckle. A large cratered moon fills the background behind it. The fur tufts on the chest and the whiskers need a careful hand, while the moon and cushion are easy, open areas.

Toad in Witch Hat on Spotted Toadstool

A smiling toad in a pointed witch hat sits on top of a big toadstool with six round spots and gills under the cap. Two fir trees, low bushes and a round moon fill the background, with tufts of grass at the base. The large spots and the smooth hat are easy areas, while the small swirls on the toad’s body and the gills need a steadier hand.

Owl Perched on a Broomstick by the Crescent Moon

A wide-eyed owl with feathery ear tufts grips a broomstick that rests on two fence posts, with a large crescent moon rising behind it. A picket fence with pointed slats runs along the bottom, and the broom’s bristles fan out to the right. The big eyes and the smooth moon are open areas, while the feathered chest and wings take more patience.

Four Bats Hanging from a Branch

Four smiling bats hang upside down from a bare, forked branch, their wings folded around them like cloaks. A large crescent moon hangs in the sky above, and one bat has a wing partly unfurled with small motion lines. Two bats have wide open eyes and two have happily squeezed-shut eyes. The wide open moon and the smooth wing folds are easy areas.

Spider in Witch Hat on Web with Pumpkins

A fuzzy, smiling spider with big round eyes wears a buckled witch hat and hangs from a thread in the middle of a round web. Two ribbed pumpkins with curly stems sit below, and the legs are broad jointed segments with curved tips. The web’s thin wedge-shaped cells suit a fine pen, while the pumpkin ribs are large, open areas.

Little Witch Leading Her Animal Parade

A smiling young witch in a buckled hat strides along a winding path with a broom and a small star-marked cauldron. A cat, a frog, an owl and a bat follow behind her, and a street lantern, a crescent moon, six stars and scattered maple leaves fill the scene. The leaves and the wide cloak are roomy areas, while the owl’s feathers and the bat’s wing ribs need a finer touch.

Magic Everyday

Trick-or-Treating Witches at the Front Door

Two girls in star-patterned capes and pointed hats climb the front steps with jack-o’-lantern buckets, while a collared cat trots alongside. A glowing porch lantern, an arched door, a big carved pumpkin, a crescent moon, scattered stars, leaves and a wrapped candy fill the scene. The capes and pumpkins are roomy shapes, but the wavy hair and the door panels need a finer touch.

Cat and Frog Witch Tea Party

A laughing cat and a smiling frog, both in star-decorated witch hats, sip from star cups at a round table. A star teapot, three cupcakes on a plate, an arched window and a bunting of five little hats complete the scene. The scalloped tablecloth with its row of stars has plenty of open space for bold color.

Witch and Cat Flying Over Village Rooftops

Above a row of scalloped-tile rooftops with chimneys and a church spire, a smiling girl in a buckled hat rides a broom while a cat sits on the bristles. A big full moon, two clouds and six stars fill the night sky. The huge moon and the roof tiles are open areas, while the flowing hair and broom bristles are finer work.

Witch Shopping at the Mushroom Market Stall

A long-haired witch in a buckled hat holds up a mushroom over a crate full of them, under a scalloped striped awning. A crate of eight apples and a straw broom stand in front, with village houses behind. The apples and awning stripes are easy to color, while the wavy hair and the piled mushrooms need a steady hand.

Witch Blowing Out Birthday Candles

A young witch in a big star-buckled hat puffs at three candles on a star-shaped cake dotted with little stars. A cat in a starry party hat sits beside her, a bunting hangs overhead, and a large ribbon-tied gift box fills the foreground. The gift box and cake icing are big, open areas, while the long wavy hair and the cat’s whiskers need finer work.

Patterns and Designs

Ring of Witch Hats and Stars

Five pointed witch hats with square buckles and six five-pointed stars alternate in a wreath around an empty circle in the middle. The bold, open shapes suit beginners, and the blank circle could hold a moon or a name.

Witch Hat with Moons, Stars and Swirls

A single witch hat with a bent tip and a wide brim, seen from the front. A buckled band circles the base, and the cone and brim are scattered with crescent moons, five-pointed stars and spiral swirls. The swirl centers are the smallest spaces, so a sharp pencil helps there.

Witches at a Glance

Where the Witch Came From

The English word witch comes from the Old English wicce for a woman and wicca for a man. The German word Hexe has a different root, growing out of the Old High German hagazussa. Storybook witches as we know them today, pointed hat and all, are a fairly recent invention. Artists only started drawing witches in tall, wide-brimmed hats around the seventeenth century, and the look became fixed once fairy tale books and Halloween decorations picked it up and repeated it for generations of children.

The Classic Witch Kit

A few props show up again and again because they carry the whole story on their own. The broom is the classic witch vehicle in folklore and children’s books, and the traditional version is a besom, a bundle of birch twigs tied to a wooden handle rather than a plastic-bristled broom. The cauldron is where potions and soups get cooked up, and the most famous cauldron scene of all appears in Shakespeare’s Macbeth, written around 1606, where three witches brew a spell together over the fire. Round out the kit with a pointed hat, a flowing cape, a wand, and a bundle of dried herbs, and any young colorist has everything needed to draw a witch from memory.

Familiar Faces and Favorite Colors

The black cat became known as a witch’s companion through European folk belief, though the reputation is not universal. In Britain and in Japan, for example, a black cat crossing your path is considered good luck rather than bad. The green-skinned witch that many children picture first is actually a modern idea from the twentieth century, popularized by the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, which is why the witches in this collection are colored with ordinary skin tones instead. In Germany, witches are closely tied to Walpurgis Night on the night of April 30 into May 1, when legend says witches gather on the Brocken mountain in the Harz for one big celebration before spring.

Printing and Coloring Tips

Every page in this set is formatted for standard A4 paper, so no adjustment is needed before you print. A plain 32 lb printer paper works fine for crayons or colored pencils, but if your child likes markers or watercolor, switch to a heavier cardstock so the color does not bleed through onto the table. For the sharpest lines, print at 100 percent scale rather than “fit to page,” and choose your printer’s best or normal quality setting rather than draft, which can leave the fine details looking faint.

Because the sheets range from very easy to detailed, pick based on your colorist rather than by age alone. Toddlers and early preschoolers do best with the simplest outlines, like a single smiling witch on her broom, since big open shapes are easier for small hands to stay inside. School-age kids can handle the cauldron and potion scenes, which add more separate elements to color one at a time. The most detailed pages, full cottage scenes or pattern sheets with lots of small repeating shapes, are best saved for older kids and adults who enjoy a page that takes a while to finish.

What to Do With Finished Pages

A finished witch coloring page does not have to end up in a drawer. Here are four easy ways to give it a second life.

• Tape a few finished pages to the window or front door as simple, cheerful Halloween decorations.
• Bind a stack of completed sheets into a homemade coloring book to give as a gift.
• Use one page as the cover of a handmade Halloween card for a grandparent or friend.
• Hang your favorite on the fridge or a classroom bulletin board so everyone can see it.
