We started talking about bones today and after looking at some pictures and reading a book my daughter headed to the craft area and made a skeleton craft all by herself. I love how creative she is becoming! No scissors are needed for this craft and it’s perfect for a Human Anatomy lesson, X is for X ray craft, or spooky Halloween decoration.
This craft is great for using up any white paper scraps you have lying around. The nice thing about the craft is kids will feel no pressure to cut correctly or align bones anatomically correct leaving them free to create!
