Grinning Sugar Skull with Daisy Forehead and Hearts

Coloring guide
This big, cheerful sugar skull grins straight at you. It has wide round eyes, a heart-shaped nose and a row of square teeth in a happy smile. A large daisy-style flower sits at the top of the forehead, with swirls and teardrop shapes around it. Scalloped, flower-like rings circle both eyes, and a small flower decorates each cheek. Curly swirls and a leafy, petal-like design fill the chin. Four hearts float in the corners of the page. Thick, clean outlines and roomy open spaces keep it friendly for younger kids, and the swirls and petals give older ones plenty to work on. Pink and orange would look great on the eye rings and cheek flowers, with a sunny yellow center for the forehead daisy. Print the free PDF at home whenever you want a quick coloring break. This fits right in with our Sugar Skulls (Día de Muertos) coloring pages — see also Jesus / Bible and Good Friday.
