Instructions
Print out the skeleton skull template.
Get some cotton swabs and plan how you’d like your skeleton to look. Be sure to include a spine, we added the ribcage and limbs. Where there are joints.
Cut the cotton swabs in half for the limbs.
The fingers have 5 small pieces to show that they are separate bones.
Older kids can show how each finger is made of 3 small bones, they can research how many rib bones there actually are to make sure the craft is accurate.
They can show the separate bones in the legs to show the tibia and fibula, and the radius and the ulna in the arm.
You can add the bones in the feet and toes.
