Candy-Decorated Sugar Skull With Sweets And Stars Coloring Page

The decoration on this crown is confectionery rather than foliage, which is unusual and makes the page read younger than most in this category. Two large spiral lollipops sit at the top of the head with a smaller wrapped candy beside them, and a scatter of tiny sweets and dots runs along the brow. Eight pointed stars float freely in the background at different sizes, filling the corners without touching the skull. Both sockets hold a flower rosette inside a dotted ring, a small crescent moon curls on each cheek, and a shaded heart forms the nose above a wide row of even teeth with a single flower centered beneath the chin. Sweet shop colors are the obvious route and the right one: candy pink, mint, lemon and lilac, laid flat with no shading. Because the stars sit apart from everything else, they give you somewhere to test a shade before committing it to the skull. Sugar skulls are genuinely made of sugar, pressed in molds and decorated with colored icing, and families write a name across the forehead of each one, so the blank band above these eyes is a good place to add one of your own.
