Picnic Time for a Sandwich-Loving Skeleton
Coloring guide
Sitting cross-legged on a checkered blanket under a big leafy tree, a cheerful cartoon skeleton happily holds a sandwich in each hand. Around the blanket are a woven picnic basket with a plaid cloth on top, a plate piled with grapes, apples and strawberries, and a tall pitcher of lemonade with citrus slices floating in it. Two butterflies flutter by with dotted flight trails, and grass tufts, little flowers and rounded bushes fill in the background. Large bones and simple shapes are easy for small hands, while the fruit, basket and checks give older kids more to detail. Bright yellow lemon slices and red and green apples will make the food stand out. Print or download this free page for kids and coloring fans of every age. Looking for more?

- 1Start by filling the skeleton's skull, ribs, arms, and leg bones with cream white, leaving the eye whites, teeth, and eye shine white.
- 2Color the picnic blanket with coral red and salmon pink in a checkered pattern, keeping the white gingham squares uncolored.
- 3Fill the lemonade jug with lemon yellow, add the lemon slices in the same yellow, and color the jug top and handle with sky blue and pale blue.
- 4Color the apples and the strawberry with bright red, the grapes with lime green and forest green, and the bread in the basket with tan brown and burnt orange.
- 5Add the sandwich bread in light gold and the tree trunk branch in chocolate brown, then color the leaves and grass in lime green and forest green.
- 6Optional: Add a little golden yellow to the butterfly wings and strawberry seeds for a bit of extra sparkle.
