Garden Day for a Skeleton With a Watering Can
Coloring guide
A smiling skeleton in a wide-brimmed sun hat, with a flower on the band, tips a watering can over a patch of blooming flowers while drops fall from the spout. One hand rests on its hip and the other holds the can. Behind it are a picket fence, a wheelbarrow piled with cut flowers and little tufts of grass, and a cheerful butterfly at the top right leaves a dashed trail. The big daisy-style flowers and broad leaves up front leave lots of room for crayons or markers, and the simple shapes work well for younger kids. Bright yellow or pink would suit the hat flower and the blooms, with soft blue for the water droplets. It's a free printable for a classroom project or weekend craft.

- 1Start with the hat: color the crown, brim and flower in sunny yellow, and add a cherry red band around the crown.
- 2Fill the skeleton's bones, skull, hands and feet in bone cream, leaving both eyes white.
- 3Color the watering can in sky blue, with its top rim in navy blue, and paint the wheelbarrow in cherry red with charcoal gray wheels.
- 4Bring the flowers to life: make the big flower lavender purple with sunny yellow centers, the right flowers tangerine orange, and the small pink flower coral pink.
- 5Add the garden greens in forest green, lime green and grass green, then color the fence posts in wood tan and the butterfly wings in lavender purple, keeping the small white flowers and background white.
- 6Optional: add a few darker strokes of forest green or mustard gold on the hat and leaves for depth.
