The word ‘mummy’ comes from the Arabic word ‘mūmiyyah’, which means ‘bitumen’ or ‘pitch.’ Ancient Egyptians used special methods to preserve bodies, and over time, people began to call these wrapped bodies ‘mummies.’
Long ago, people believed that mummies could come to life on Halloween night, but in real life, mummies are simply preserved bodies found in tombs and museums, telling us amazing stories from the past.
Mummies aren’t just from Egypt! People in South America, China, and other places also practiced mummification, each with their own unique traditions and methods to honor and remember their loved ones.
Some Halloween mummies are inspired by movie monsters, but in many cultures, mummies symbolize respect for ancestors and the mysteries of ancient history, making them both spooky and fascinating.
Modern Halloween mummies are usually friendly and fun, designed to make people smile. Kids love dressing up as mummies because it’s easy, creative, and perfect for parades or Halloween parties!

The word ‘mummy’ is pronounced /ˈmʌm.i/ — it starts with the ‘mmm’ sound, like in ‘moon,’ followed by the short letter ‘u’ sound as in ‘cup,’ and ends with the cheerful ‘ee’ sound. For preschoolers, practicing the letter ‘m’ and ‘u’ sounds can be extra silly and fun! Parents can play a ‘mummy march’ game, encouraging children to say, ‘Mmm-mmm-mummy!’ as they stomp and wrap pretend bandages. Try clapping for each syllable: ‘mum-my’—two claps! For a spooky twist, make up a rhyme: ‘Mummy, mummy, wrapped up tight, coloring fun on Halloween night!’ You can also practice writing the letter ‘M’ together, using finger paints or tracing the letter with a finger while making funny mummy noises. Repeating the word while coloring helps reinforce sound recognition, and searching for other ‘m’ words in the coloring pages (like ‘moon’, ‘monster‘, or ‘mask’) adds an extra layer of phonics fun.
Halloween coloring activities do more than just provide spooky fun—they help children develop fine motor skills, practice focus and patience, and express their imagination. Coloring also supports hand-eye coordination, color recognition, and early literacy as children talk about what they see and create their own stories. Sharing and displaying finished art builds confidence and encourages a love for creative learning.
Improves mood through colour therapy – Colour has subconscious emotional influence (as studied by Jung).
Enhances hand‑eye coordination – Children learn to match what they see with the motions of their hands.
Provides an emotional outlet – Offers a safe, non‑verbal channel for feelings and frustrations.
Offers emotional expression – Children convey feelings via their colour choices and pressure.
Sparks creativity and imagination – Every colouring outcome is unique, fostering creative expression.

Halloween coloring pages are wonderful tools for both families and teachers, offering endless opportunities for playful learning. Here’s how you can turn our Mummy Halloween Coloring Pages into magical moments of education and fun:
Coloring within the lines helps children develop control of small hand muscles, essential for writing and self-care tasks. Encourage kids to use different coloring tools—crayons, markers, or colored pencils—to strengthen their grip and coordination. Suggest coloring bandages in a pattern or tracing shapes on the mummy’s wrappings for extra practice.
Use the word ‘mummy’ as a starting point for phonics games. Have your child find and circle all the ‘M’s’ on the page or practice writing the letter with finger paints. Say the word aloud, break it into syllables, and make up rhymes like ‘Mummy marches in the moonlight.’ Challenge children to think of other Halloween words starting with ‘m’ and draw them around the mummy.
Each coloring page is packed with opportunities to learn new words—’bandage’, ‘treasure chest’, ‘broomstick’, ‘trick-or-treat‘, and more. As kids color, talk about what’s happening in the scene and ask questions like, ‘What do you think is inside the treasure chest?’ or ‘How does the mummy feel?’ This encourages descriptive language and storytelling.
Turn each coloring page into a launching pad for creative storytelling. After coloring, ask your child to tell a story about the mummy: Where is it going? Who are its friends? What happens next? Write down their story to create a mini Halloween book, pairing their colored pages with their own words.
Hide the colored mummy pages around the house or classroom and create simple clues for a mummy-themed scavenger hunt. Each clue can teach a new fact about mummies or Halloween traditions, blending movement with learning and excitement.
Encourage children to act out scenes from their coloring pages. They can pretend to be a mummy going trick-or-treating, flying on a broomstick, or wrapping a teddy bear. This boosts imagination, social skills, and confidence in expressing themselves.
Show off colored mummy pages on a Halloween wall, bulletin board, or refrigerator. Create a themed mural or a ‘Mummy Parade’ display to celebrate every child’s creativity. Add labels or speech bubbles to each page for extra reading and writing practice.
By using Mummy Halloween Coloring Pages in these creative ways, parents and teachers can nurture a love of learning, spark imagination, and create lasting holiday memories. Every activity combines play, education, and a gentle Halloween thrill—perfect for little learners and families to enjoy together!
