There is never a better time to learn about the skeletal system than Halloween! A fun activity for children of all ages, “Mr. Skeleton” can help your children develop a basic understanding of the many bones that are found in the body. By the time they’re done they will have named all of the major bones of the body, developed a better understanding of joints, and have learned a collection of fun facts. This activity usually takes just 5-20 minutes, but for added fun, you can color/decorate the skeleton too. Only a few materials are needed:
SUPPLIES NEEDED:
- 5 pages printed
- ¾” Brass Paper Fasteners
- WARNING: Choking hazard
- These can be replaced by glue or tape, but the fasteners are preferred to demonstrate simple movements of joints
- Child-safe scissors
- Any other supplies needed to color or decorate the skeleton
