Grinning Skeleton Patting a Puppy Skeleton With a Bone
Coloring guide
This skeleton has a big head and a wide grin, and it's sitting cross-legged in the grass while it pats a small skeleton puppy on the head. The puppy sits up straight with floppy ears, a curled tail and a large bone in its mouth, and its sparkly eyes look right at its friend. The skeleton has round eyes, a little nose and a stitched-looking smile, and its ribcage, spine and leg bones are drawn with thick, clear outlines. A few grass tufts dot the ground and that's all for background, so the page stays calm. The wide, simple shapes are great for younger kids with crayons or markers. You could try lavender or soft blue bones, a yellow bone for the pup and green grass. Free to print for Halloween week or any day your kid likes friendly spooky art.

- 3Keep the eye whites, the gaps between the ribs and joints, and the background white.
- 4Keep the grass and empty background white so the skeletons stand out clearly.
