Halloween Night Skeleton With a Ghost and Bat Friend

A friendly skeleton stands in the lower left with its arms held out to the sides and its fingers spread. It has a big smile, round eyes, and a small nose. You can see a neck bone, a row of ribs on each side of the spine, a wide pelvis with oval openings, and long leg bones ending in flat feet with toes. In the upper right, a ghost floats with wavy, wide-open arms, a tail that curls to a point, and a surprised face with oval eyes and an open mouth. A small bat sits at the bottom right with spread wings, pointed ears, a little smile, and two tiny fangs. Try coloring the bones in soft cream or light gray and giving the bat wings a bold purple. It also works well for a quick science lesson, since kids can point out the ribs, spine, and pelvis as they color. The lines are thick and simple, so it suits younger kids well.
