Split Pin Skeleton Craft

I love an activity that you can use for more than one topic and this split pin skeleton craft is definitely one of those.

With a black and white printable template that you can print as many times as you like this would make a great classroom activity for learning about the different parts of your body and we’ve even included some facts about skeletons on the printable, did you know that your skeleton is made up of more than 200 bones?

How To Make Your Split Pin Skeleton Craft

Start by printing your split pin skeleton template onto white paper or cardstock. Paper is both easier to cut and push the split pins through but cardstock is a bit more durable which can be useful for this craft.

Use scissors to cut out all the pieces of the skeleton.

Glue your skeleton’s shoulders to their spine and then glue on their ribcage.

Following the cross marks on the different parts of the body make a hole in the middle of each cross by pushing a pencil through the cross into some plasticine and then join the pieces together using a split pin.

Join the body parts together to form your skeleton, you’ll find an image of a finished skeleton craft in the corner of your printable template to help show you which bones go where.
