15 Frankenstein Coloring Pages
Frankenstein is a novel written by Mary Shelley, published in 1818 when she was just 20 years old. In the book, Victor Frankenstein is the scientist, and the creature he builds has no name, though people often call the creature Frankenstein. Movies later gave him the familiar look of a flat head and bolts in the neck. This set keeps the creature friendly and fun. He dances, jumps in a cheer, holds flowers, hugs a pumpkin and carries a lantern with a bat nearby. Party pages show him with a cupcake and playing guitar. Two cute versions are just right for preschoolers. Green skin is classic from the movies, but kids can choose any color. A dark jacket, gray pants and silver bolts complete the outfit, and stitches can be drawn in black. These pages are a gentle Halloween option for kids who like monsters without the scares, and they make a fun link for older kids to the history of the book.
Sweet monsters for little hands
Cute Frankenstein Character has a giant boxy head, star-sparkle eyes and a simple shirt, the easiest page for ages 3 to 6. Cute Frankenstein is a big portrait with neck bolts and stitched patches, and Frankenstein with Bolts stands in a roomy jacket and sneakers. Both suit kids around 4 to 7 who want a gentle Halloween page with no scary details at all.
Overalls, stitches and a monster mask craft
Friendly Frankenstein adds overalls, laced sneakers and extra stitch marks, a medium page for ages 5 to 8. For a craft, color the portrait page, glue it to a paper plate, cut out the eyes and tape a craft stick to the bottom to make a monster mask for a Halloween party, a class parade or a spooky story time with friends.
