Skeleton jigsaw

As part of our skeleton learning I found a jigsaw that was very simple as there is only 6 pieces. So I cut them up and Dylan arranged them and stuck them on black paper.

He wanted the skeleton to look like his waving .

There's a game to it where you roll a dice and each number represents a body part.

Skeleton model chalk drawing

Yesterday Dylan asked what colour our bones were and  this inspired ne to search for skeleton crafts.  I really liked the black background white chalk pictures .  I brought a model skeleton home from work and we made it. ( more tricky than I thought it would be). Then once we had the model I gave him instructions on what to draw. 

I also bought a skull home to look at.  I wasn't intending to do this straight after work but he was very excited and asked if we could do it now. So I couldn't resist.

Basically he draw loads of lines and a few circles.

I love the end result. We have had several family requests for one of their own.

We counted bones as he was looking at the Skeleton to copy it as well as naming the bones ( preschool level).
