Star Eyes and Starry Tongue on a Sugar Skull

A front-facing sugar skull fills the page, with big round eyes that each hold a star surrounded by zigzag lines that echo its points. A ring of small beads circles each eye, and dotted patterns spread out toward the cheeks. A heart sits between the eyes, with swirls and curls across the forehead and feathery lines along the top of the head. The nose is a solid black teardrop, and more scrollwork curls around it. Below are a row of teeth and ribbed jaw bones, and a long tongue sticks out decorated with stars and little circles. Try coloring the two star eyes in matching bright colors, then pick a different palette for the tongue stars. Fine-tip markers or colored pencils work well for the tiny beads and swirls. It's a free printable that suits older kids and teens who like detailed patterns, and a good chance to talk about Día de Muertos.
