Ribs, spine, hips and every finger are drawn separately here: the skeleton grins with one hand raised and a candle balanced in the other, and a small cat sits by its feet with its tail curled into a question mark. All those little bones make this Halloween skeleton coloring page a longer sit than most of the collection, comfortable from about six. Leaving the bones white and filling only the candle flame, the cat and the ground line is what makes the skeleton stand out instead of disappearing into the page. Spooky enough, and not one degree past it, for children who want Halloween without nightmares. For a whole scene of it, the Haunted Halloween House is the next step up.
