Heart-Nosed Sugar Skull Covered in Swirls and Flowers

Heart-Nosed Sugar Skull Covered in Swirls and Flowers coloring sheet

Coloring guide

A front-facing sugar skull fills the page, covered in patterns from top to bottom. A large flower with rounded petals sits in the middle of the forehead, with swirling scroll shapes on both sides and a pair of leaves just below it. The eye sockets are big circles with a ring of dots and pointed, sun-like petals around the edge, and each one holds a pinwheel of heart-shaped sections. The nose is a solid black heart-shaped hole with dotted lines running down toward the teeth. Small round rosettes, ovals, and teardrop shapes decorate the cheeks and jaw, and a leafy flower sits at the top and bottom edges. Try giving each rosette its own color combination and keep the teeth white, so the bright patterns stand out. It also works well as a talking point about Día de Muertos for older kids, since the printable has lots of small spaces for fine-tipped markers.
