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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
