How to craft a Q-tip skeleton
What you need:
- pencil
- drag
- glue
- black paper
- White paper
- black marker
- Q-tips with paper handles (easier to cut and better for the environment)
Step-by-step instructions
Skull
Have your child draw a skull on white paper and cut it out.
Let’s continue by drawing two dots for the eyes and nose.
Tell them to have their teeth pulled too!
bone
Have children cut Q-tips in half.
Neck
It’s time to start assembling the Q-tip skeleton.
Have the kids glue the skull onto black paper and the first half of the Q-tip as the neck.
Spine
They need another half Q-tip – this will be the spine of the skeleton.
Shoulders
Next glue the two halves of the Q-tip to create the shoulder.
The ribs
Then add two more under the shoulders to create the ribs.
Ask them to add two more rows of Q-tips.
Watch your hands
To create the arms, apply half of the Q-tip diagonally from the shoulder down.
Then add another half facing up.
The child can repeat this process to create the other arm facing down.
Pelvis
To create the pelvis, they will glue the two halves of the W slightly upward – towards the ribs.
Feet
Next, have your child create the legs in the same way they did the arms.
Next is the other leg.
Feet and hands
The skeleton needs feet and hands, so children need to cut off the ends of the Q-tips (the cotton part).
Ask them to tape their feet.
They can cut additional Q-tips to create five fingers for each hand.
Ask them to gently press their fingers so they stick to the black paper.
