Servings: 0
Ingredients
- Large sheet of white paper
- Large sheet of white paper
- Black marker
- Popsicle sticks
- Painter's tape
- White card stock or construction paper
Instructions
- Begin by securing a large sheet of white paper on the floor or table using painter's tape. This will be the canvas for your skeletal adventure.
- Cut out a skull shape from the white paper and use a black marker to draw a friendly or spooky skeleton face. Stick this skull at the top of the large sheet of paper, and your skeletal friend is ready to greet you.
- Lay out popsicle sticks to create a skeleton on the paper. You can refer to a picture for guidance. You will need to cut the popsicle sticks in half to create the ribs and feet of the skeleton. Once you're satisfied with the arrangement, use a pencil or your marker to trace the outline of the popsicle sticks onto the paper.
- Write numbers 1 to 20 on the popsicle sticks. For kids aged 3-4, consider using numbers under 12 and repeating them as needed. For older kids (5-6), you can extend the range to 1-20.
- On the traced skeleton on the paper, draw dots to represent the numbers you wrote on the popsicle sticks. Each dot corresponds to a number, creating a visual connection for your child.
