Human Skull and Jaw Coloring Page

One skull, drawn straight on, fills almost the entire sheet. Nothing else competes with it, and that is the strength of this page.

Both eye sockets are large, round and completely open, with no fill inside them. That matters for coloring, because it leaves two big clean circles to treat however you like. Between and below them sits the nose opening, drawn as an upturned shape with a soft point at the top. Short curved strokes mark the cheekbones and the temples on each side, and a pair of fine lines suggest the brow.

The jaw is the busiest part. Two full rows of teeth run across the middle of the face, each tooth boxed off as its own small square, so there are roughly twenty tiny regions sitting inside one very large one. That contrast between tight detail and wide open bone is what makes the page work for a mixed age group at the same table.

The outline is bold and unbroken all the way around the cranium and jaw. Print it on card and it cuts out cleanly as a mask, which is the most common thing families do with this one in October.
