Sunflower-Eyed Skull with Heart Keyhole and Curling Vines

A front-facing sugar skull fills the page, decorated with a large heart and keyhole on the forehead. Curling vines, leaves and swirls branch out from either side of the heart. The two round eye sockets are surrounded by sunflower-style petals and a ring of small dots. A flower sits at the top of the head, and smaller flowers peek out from each cheek. The nose is a heart shape inside a scalloped, lacy outline. Rows of dots run across the cheeks, and the teeth are drawn as a neat line of rounded shapes above swirling scrollwork on the chin. There are lots of small spaces, so fine-tipped markers or colored pencils work well. Try coloring the two eye flowers in matching palettes, then choose a different bright color for the heart so it becomes the center of attention. It is also a nice way to talk about Día de Muertos traditions with kids.
