Human Body: Skeletal System

We built our own skeletal system. You can print one out from  this website. Then we labeled the bones. We named it "Bony. "

Here's a printable to show the names of the main bones. We used this to help us label Bony.

We also checked out this song about the skeletal system. So cute!!!

For Art, I traced my daughter's body on butcher paper. At first she was going to use random items to create the bones for this skeleton, but we weren't satisfied with the results. So we decided to change plans mid project (which is why the skull is made from paper and the fingers are done with q-tips). We mixed equal parts of regular white glue and shaving cream. It created a cool white puffy paint. She used a paintbrush to create the rest of the skeleton. 

Here's a silly song when you need a brain break!

My daughter worked on this sheet to show off what she learned about bones. Click on the image to print your own.
