Cross-Forehead Sugar Skull with Five-Petal Flower Eyes

A front-facing sugar skull fills the page, with a small cross drawn in the middle of the forehead. Each eye socket is a big circle with a five-petal flower inside, and a small ringed circle sits at the center of each flower. Large ruffled petals decorate the top and both sides of the head, and a string of round beads curves over the top petals. The nose is a heart shape, and curly swirl lines sit beside it and above the eyes. The teeth are drawn as a row of rounded ovals inside a scalloped border, with more petals along the bottom of the jaw. The lines are clean and the shapes are fairly roomy, so it works for kids and adults. Try coloring the two eye flowers in matching colors, then pick a different color for each petal group on the forehead to practice symmetry. It is a free printable you can use during a Día de Muertos lesson.
