Christmas Skeleton with Ornament and Gift
A cheerful skeleton in a fluffy Santa hat waves beside a starry ornament while carrying a ribbon-wrapped present.
🎨 How to color it
Color the skeleton’s Santa hat bright red with snowy white trim, the giant ornament teal and gold, and the gift box candy-cane red. Use crayons or markers for the big bones, hat, and ornament, then switch to a sharp pencil for the tiny snowflakes and triangle patterns. Try making the present bow a shiny gold so it stands out against the striped box.

The giant ornament leaning beside the waving skeleton is bigger than his whole rib cage, which is exactly why it belongs to a secret plan.
Jingle-jangle, went the little hanger at the top, and Jasper lowered his voice as if the snowflakes might be listening. He was building a dream display for the quietest corner of the North Pole: one huge ornament with two bold stars, a wrapped present with a fat bow, and a Santa hat so floppy its pom-pom nearly bumped his shoulder. Can you find the holly berries tucked on his hat? Jasper said they were the project’s tiny “keep-out” bells.
First, he waved his bony hand to test the welcome. Then he tucked the present against his ribs and checked the ornament’s zigzag band. Can you spot the two stars on the ornament? One was for bright wishes, and the other was for extra giggles. A snowflake drifted near his foot, and Jasper winked at it. If everything looked merry enough by moonrise, he would roll the enormous ornament to the workshop door and surprise every elf before breakfast.
