Leaping Skeleton Mid-Dance With Hands by Its Head

A cartoon skeleton leaps across the page with one knee lifted and both hands held up beside its head, as if it is dancing or running. It has a large rounded skull with big circular eyes, a small nose, and a wide grin full of teeth. Below the head you can see the collarbones, a curved rib cage, the spine, and the pelvis, followed by long arm and leg bones with chunky joints. The hands and feet show individual finger and toe bones. The bones are drawn as clean outlines with plenty of open space, so they are easy for small hands to color. Try giving the skeleton a soft glow-in-the-dark look with pale yellow and light green, then use a bright color for the eyes. Teachers can also point to the ribs, skull, and pelvis and have kids name each part while they color. You can print it free for classroom or home use.
