This Q-tip skeleton is a wonderful craft for children to make
this Halloween! The best thing is, there are not many
supplies
needed at
all, and most likely they are in your house right now. A child may need
some help from an adult to cut the Q-tips in half, as some of them can
be a little tough to cut through.
Things Needed:
- 18
Q-tips
- Black cardstock or construction paper
- White
paper
- Black marker
- Scissors
- White glue
1. Begin by gluing 6
whole Q-tips on the
black cardstock for the skeleton’s ribs.
2.
Glue 1 Q-tip perpendicular over the ribs to act as the backbone. Have
the Q-tip lie flush with the last rib, but poke up longer than the top
rib, to act as the neck bone.

3.
Draw a skull on the white paper with a black marker, and cut it out.
4. Glue the skull on the paper above and
touching the neck bone.


5.
Glue 4 whole Q-tips for the arm joints and leg joints, as shown in the
finished photo below.
6. Cut
6 whole Q-tips in half, or make them even shorter if you like (like I
did). These are smaller bones that can be used as the 10 fingers, and 2
to be the feet. Glue them in place.

7. Hang on your front door for the
Trick-or-Treaters!
