Garden Skeleton in a Straw Hat Watering the Flowers
Coloring guide
Wearing a wide straw hat, this cheerful skeleton leans forward and tips a watering can over a patch of blooming flowers, with droplets falling from the spout. Behind it you'll see a wooden picket fence, two tall sunflowers with dotted centers, tufts of grass and a bright sun with rays in the sky corner. Big round eyes, a friendly grin, a clearly drawn ribcage and bony hands and feet give little ones plenty to enjoy. Bold lines and roomy shapes make this free printable a good choice for preschoolers and early elementary kids, or for a calm, not-scary Halloween-season classroom activity. Yellow petals on the sunflowers, a golden hat, a bright blue watering can and pink and purple blooms near the water drops would all look great. Love this Skeleton coloring page?
