About this coloring page
A grinning skeleton dances on one foot, its other leg bent up at the knee and both arms raised with fingers spread wide. You can see its round skull with big eye holes, a rib cage, a spine, hip bones and the long bones of its arms and legs, all drawn in friendly, rounded shapes.
Coloring ideas
Leave the bones white and color the background a bright party color, or make a glow-in-the-dark look with pale green or yellow bones on a black page. Some kids like giving the skeleton colorful bones, a hat or a bow tie. Draw musical notes floating around the dancer so everyone knows there is a party going on.
Skills practiced
This page is a playful mini anatomy lesson: find the skull, ribs, spine, hips and knees, and talk about how bones help us stand, move and dance. Children can act out the pose too, which gets everyone moving.
Printing tips
The ribs are narrow, so sharp crayons or colored pencils help. Print on card stock, color, cut out and attach the arms and legs with paper fasteners to make a jointed skeleton.
