What your child practices

  • Build crayon control by coloring inside large, thickly outlined shapes
  • Name body parts such as the head, ribs, arms, hands, legs and feet
  • Choose separate colors for neighboring shapes like bones and the pumpkin
  • Recognize a friendly facial expression and talk about happy versus scary

About this worksheet

A cartoon skeleton with a big round head, wide eyes and a toothy grin raises one hand to wave hello, and a smiling jack-o'-lantern with a curly stem sits at its feet. The ribs are a few rounded bars, the arms and legs are chunky bones with space between them, and every part has a thick outline, so your child can color each bone, the head and the pumpkin one at a time. The skeleton looks funny, not frightening.

Between two and five, children move from loose scribbles toward strokes they can steer and stop. Filling large, clearly outlined shapes gives them steady practice at this, and it strengthens the small hand muscles they will later use to hold a pencil. The skeleton also gives you an easy way to name body parts, from the head and ribs down to the hands and feet.

Before your child starts, press gently on their arm or knee together and explain that everyone has bones like these inside. It turns the skeleton from something spooky into something familiar.

How to use this sheet

Chunky crayons or washable markers are easiest on the small bone shapes. Let your child choose any colors for the bones, since a rainbow skeleton is just as good as a white one.
