Total Time15 minutes
Keyword: Craft, Halloween

Equipment

  • Craft paper (black and white) This is a great time to use white scrap paper.
  • White Chalk
  • Glue

Instructions

  • 1.  Trace arm, hand, and or foot out on black paper or draw a human outline (like a paper doll outline) with chalk onto black paper.
  • 2.  Rip white paper in shapes of bones and glue to black paper inside the chalk lines.

Notes

Once your skeleton is finished, you can display it on the wall for a spooky Halloween decoration, use it as part of a bulletin board about the human body, or even turn it into an “x-ray” gallery by hanging multiple skeletons together. For younger kids, encourage them to make silly poses with their skeleton hands and feet, while older kids can try to place the torn pieces in a way that mimics real bones. No matter how you style it, each skeleton turns out wonderfully unique!
