Friendly Skeleton on Grass Anatomy Printable
Coloring guide
This cartoon skeleton stands tall and waves hello with one raised hand, while its other arm hangs loose at its side. Big round eyes, a wide toothy grin and a bald rounded skull make it look cheerful and not scary. All the bones are drawn clearly: ribcage, spine, pelvis, arm and leg bones, finger bones and bare feet, so it's useful for a simple body lesson. A few small tufts of grass and some little pebbles surround its feet. With bold lines and roomy spaces, younger kids can color it without frustration. Bright blue eyes, warm ivory bones and a few different greens for the grass would look good. Print the free PDF for class time or a rainy afternoon. This fits right in with our Anatomy coloring pages — see also Alphabet and Disney Alphabet.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.

- 2Color the pelvis and the hip area coral red, including the lower curved parts of the hip bones.
- 3Color the breastbone and all the ribs sky blue, keeping the gaps between the ribs clean.
- 4Fill the spine with lavender purple, from the neck down to the bottom of the back.
- 5Add soft orange to the collarbones, dusty lilac to the left shoulder blade, pale warm gray to the neck bone, and stone gray to the two rocks on the grass.
- 6Optional: Add a little darker shading along the edges of the bones with a slightly deeper cream to make them look rounder.
