If you follow us on Facebook then you may have seen this activity  on our page last week!  It is a super easy activity but lots of fun and really effective.  I have used this in school both for Halloween and science!

What you need:

– white cotton buds or straws
– black paper or card
– pva glue or any child friendly glue
– white chalk
– googly eyes (optional)

What to do:

– draw an upside down triangle to skull shape with the white chalk
– using the cotton buds start to create a skeleton shape
– glue in place
– cut the cotton buds to size if necessary (ribs, feet, hands etc)
– add googly eyes for a little fun!
– arrange the limbs in various positions to create dancing skeletons.

    • Thank you! We had a lot of fun with this. I love that it’s really simple but really effective, my little boy thoroughly enjoyed it and has been creating all sorts of skeletal things since including jelly fish which I’m pretty sure don’t have skeletons lol !
