Popular Skull Coloring Pages
If your little one is obsessed with skeletons, skulls, and all things creepy, these free printable skull coloring pages are just for you. Print them out and get your munchkin started!
1. Sugar skull
We have a sugar skull coloring page depicting traditional folk art from Southern Mexico. Sugar skulls celebrate Dia De Los Muertos or the Day of the Dead. Spirits of the dead are welcomed into the home with beautifully decorated sugar skulls made by their loved ones. Some families take the sugar skulls, flowers, and incense sticks to the cemetery to decorate the tombs.
2. Santa skull
Santa has never looked this creepy before. Perhaps a dash of color would make him look less scary. Can your kid give some color to him? But do not give this coloring page to young children. It will destroy their notion of Santa Claus.
3. Skull and roses tattoo
We have a diagram of a skull and roses tattoo. Skulls and roses have a profound meaning in the tattoo world. It denotes the contrast between beauty and decay, life, and death. It also asserts the belief that life comes from death. Tell your kid to try shading for the skull and red for the rose. You can even tell your child to use sparkly stones and glitter to make the skull coloring sheet stand out.
4. Dia De Los Muertos
Celebrate Dia De Los Muertos with your child with the cool skull coloring page. Acquaint your kid with a bit of Mexican culture and Dia de Los Muertos as they add bright colors to the skull. Dia de Dos Muertos is the celebration of the life of the deceased. Instead of being sad for the person, the family focuses on the happy times they had when they were alive.
5. Skull drinking from skull cups
The skeleton was feeling hot after staying in the grave for a year. So he is beating the heat by drinking a lemon mocktail. But what’s striking here is the skeleton-shaped tumblers from which he is drinking. Even the spiders on his shoulders want to take a sip of the mocktail, but the skeleton is in no mood to share.
6. Skull and spider
Start your kid’s Halloween right with a creepy coloring page featuring a skull and a spider. Your little monster will have a blast adding color to the scene.
7. Grim Reaper
We have a coloring page of The Grim Reaper with a sheet of paper in his hand. But what is he pointing at with his fingers? Is he asking the kids to write something on the sheet of paper?
The Grim Reaper is a black-cloaked and scythe-wielding personification of death. He comes to every person at the time of death with an hourglass in his hand and waits for the last grain of sand to fall. When it does, he collects the soul by cutting it with his razor-sharp blade.
8. Catrina
We have a relatively less scary skull coloring page of La Calavera Catrina, also known as the Elegant Skull and Dapper Skeleton. Catrina is one of the most iconic images of the Day of the Dead or Dia de los Muertos celebration. She is a skeleton of a high society dressed in clothes befitting her social status. Some even say that Catrina is a satirical portrait of the Mexican native who aspired to adopt the noble traditions in the pre-revolutionary era.
9. Skull Island map
Look what we found! A skull-shaped pirate treasure map. The map has all the secrets of Skull Island. Can your kid decode the hidden clues on the map? They can then color the map in any way they like.
10. Pirate performing an experiment
With a cape around the neck and a beaker in both hands, the pirate is looking triumphant. It seems he has found success with his operation. But don’t you think it’s a bit too late? What is he even going to do with it? Tell your kid to write a short paragraph that can go with the picture.
11. SpongeBob
Even SpongeBob is all set to celebrate Dia de los Muertos. He has even painted his body in the traditional Mexican way. Coloring within the fine lines of the coloring page will improve your kid’s fine motor skills.
12. Skeletor

13. S for Skull
Turn coloring into a fun learning moment with the coloring page of the skull. It features the diagram of a skull and upper and lower case ‘S.’ You can even ask your kid to draw other things starting with the letter S on the coloring page.
14. Magician skeleton
We have a coloring page of a fancy skeleton carrying a top hat in his hand. Is he a lord? Or is he a magician? We think he’s a magician and is about to perform a magic trick. Tell your little wizard to spread some of their magic by filling the page with color.
15. Skull anatomy
Does your kid detest science lessons? Well, we have a fun alternative way to teach anatomy. We have a coloring page featuring the right and left sides of the skull anatomy. The main purposes of the skull in our body are to house the brain, give structure to the face, and protect us from injuries. You can even ask your kid to name each part of the skull.
These skull coloring pages will allow children to play with colors while learning about the structure of the human skull and the symbolism associated with it. You can even use the finished coloring pages as decorations during Halloween or use them as a teaching tool to get them interested in human anatomy. Regardless of how you intend to use them, they guarantee multiple hours of endless fun.
