    My students really enjoyed this activity. They enjoyed learning about the Day of the Dead and making their skulls. Thank you!

  5. Mary Binauea –

    I used this resource for a culmination activity for our unit on learning about the skeletal system . They made it and labeled the skeleton. The cherry on top is the cultural aspect of the skeletons! Extra special since my school is 98% Mexican Hispanic. Beautiful!

  6. Bill R. –

    This was perfect for craft activity after our study of the Skeletal System.

  7. Melanie A. –

    I have been using the song Dem Bones with my students to review body parts and also to learn about bones in their body. I wanted a cute craft that my students could use as some kind of a puppet to practice singing the song and learning the vocabulary related to it. Your craft is exactly what I was looking for. It is cute and I know for sure that my students will love taking it home after learning the song around Halloween time. Thank you for sharing this lovely resource.
