Sugar Skull with Flowers, Stars and Heart

A front-facing sugar skull fills the page, decorated with bold outlines and plenty of small patterns. Large petal shapes sit at the top of the forehead and the bottom of the chin. Swirls, teardrop shapes, dots and curls fill the cheeks and forehead. The two big round eyes are edged with scalloped, flower-like borders, and a small heart with little wings sits between them. A trail of tiny stars runs down toward the heart-shaped nose, and larger stars sit on each cheekbone. The teeth are drawn in a neat row with thin lines above them. The open eye sockets and wide cheek areas give young colorers room for big strokes, while the small details suit fine-tip markers. Try coloring each petal in a different bright shade, then repeat those colors on the stars and swirls so the skull feels balanced. This printable page works well for a Día de Muertos lesson or a quiet craft afternoon.
