Paper Strip Skeleton Craft

  1. Out of white construction paper cut out 5 or 6 thin paper strips.
  2. Cut them in different lengths, some medium for ribs and arms and some long for spine and legs and some short for feet and fingers.
  3. Cut out a skeleton head.
  4. For preschoolers draw the outline of a skeleton using a pencil on a sheet of black construction paper.
  5. Invite them to glue down the paper strips that fit on the skeleton. Talk about the different bones of the body as they glue. Invite them to name the body parts and locate them on their own body.
  6. Use a black marker to draw the face of the skeleton.
