Paper Plate Skeleton

This idea is brought to you by my amazing mother! We had some pretty awesome Halloween decorations growing up:) This was always one of my favorites. It's super easy and educational- can't beat that!



  • 16 paper plates (the cheap ribbed kind work best)
  • Brads
  • Scissors
  • Hole puncher
  • Sharpie
Cut out each body part, punch holes at the joints, and connect with brads
Head
Shoulders

Ribs

Pelvic Bone

Arms & Legs -cut 8

Hands

Feet

Bend him into a fun position and hang. Don't you love it?

  4. We made these a couple years ago and I lost my template. Thank you google for leading me here. My kids loved it and I already bought the plates for making them again. Now I have an idea of what to actually cut out!
