I had my very first art project with my kids this week (sad that we've been in school 7 weeks and this is my first art project, I know, but there's a reason for that. I just don't want to go into it right now.) Here's what we did. Try it for yourself!
The one my third-grade team member gave me was a magic marker drawing from 197who knows when, so I used some good old modern technology to spice it up a bit. If you don't like the skull I've picked, you can find a whole slew of other options all over the internet. Your going to cut out the skeleton as follows:
And end up with something like this:
Then you glue the ribs to the back of the 'spine' thusly:
Then you're going to get four strips of paper for each limb for a total of 16 strips about like this:
Make a chain of four on both of the top ribs and bottom ribs:
And you'll end up with something along these lines:
In my class I decided to keep them around for a while as halloween decorations for the room. My kids all colored theirs and we got some interesting final projects. Here's where they currently reside:
And this is what mine ended up looking like. The kids asked if they could do eye patches too. I told them no. Only because I wanted mine is like the captain skeleton. Not that I would have done anything if they made an eye patch, but sometimes it's fun to exercise my supreme power over them. (insert evil laugh)...

Oh, we are totally doing this later this week. I love your skeleton head and mine will be sporting fake lashes and a feather boa. And I shall call her "May West in Peace". How do you make a skeleton have an ample bosom?
