Scenes for Easy Halloween Crafts and Detailed Art

This set has options for quick crafts and slow art projects. The cat in a skeleton suit has thick outlines and broad shapes that work well for younger children using crayons. On the other hand, the sugar skull has delicate geometric patterns that require a steady hand and fine-tip markers.

How to Color Skeleton Pictures

Bones do not have to stay plain white. Try using a light grey or pale blue pencil around the edges of the ribs and skull to give them a 3D shape. If you work on the moon scene or the sugar skull, a dark black background will make the light bone shapes pop off the page.

• Use black gel pens or fine markers for the tiny floral patterns on the sugar skull.
• Add bright orange, purple, and green shades to the cat's costume for a classic Halloween look.
• Try yellow and silver colored pencils to make the crescent moon glow against a dark night sky.
• Leave the center of the bones uncolored, then shade the outer edges with grey to create depth.

Fun Skeleton Facts

An adult human body has 206 bones, but babies are actually born with around 300. As kids grow, many of those smaller bones fuse together to build a strong frame. The smallest bone in your body is inside your ear, and it is smaller than a single grain of rice.
