Dancing Skeleton and Full Moon Halloween Page

Coloring guide
This cartoon skeleton is having a great time, with both arms flung up, knees bent in a lively dance, a big smile and wide sparkly eyes. A large full moon covered in crater circles sits right behind its head, and small outlined stars float on both sides. It stands on a little grassy hill with a few tufts of grass around its feet. Ribs, spine, hip bones and bony hands and feet are all drawn in thick, clear lines, so little hands can color them without trouble. It's a friendly, not-scary pick for Halloween with preschoolers and early elementary kids. Soft yellow for the moon and bright orange for the stars would work. Leave the bones white or tint them pale gray so they pop against a deep blue or purple night sky. Free to print. Looking for more? Our Gingerbread House and Martin Luther King Jr. Day coloring pages pair nicely with this Halloween page.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Start with the skeleton: fill the skull, arms, legs, hands, feet, ribs and spine with soft cream, leaving the background white.
- 2Color the big moon's craters and the small moon spots with golden orange, keeping the rest of the moon white.
- 3Fill the open mouth with coral pink, leaving the teeth and the eye whites white.
- 4Color the five stars with lemon yellow, one at a time, so they pop against the white background.
- 5Optional: Add a little shading with a slightly darker tone on one side of the bones to make them look rounder.
- 6Finish by checking the grass and any leftover gaps, keeping the background white and the highlights bright.
