Make a wonderful Paper Skeleton from an A-4 sheet. The parts have already been drawn for you. Take a screenshot and then print it on an A-4 sheet. You will also need glue and scissors. This is the Skeleton Printout. First fold it in half and then a quarter. Then cut out the individual rectangles. In all there will be 9 rectangles. The bottom strip will be used to stick the skeleton together. First fold the SKULL along its midline and then cut the outline. Then cut sockets for the eyes, nose and the mouth. Here is the complete skull. Then fold Ribcage first into half and then quarter. Cut along the dotted line just a little short of the edge. On removing the cut pieces you will see the Ribcage. Similarly cut all the individual parts – the pelvis, arms, legs etc. Then stick the parts to complete the skeleton. Stick the skull on top of the vertical strip, then the ribcage and then the pelvis. Then attach the arms and hands, legs and feet. This will complete the skeleton. Here you can see the major bones of the skeleton have been labeled. There are 200 odd bones in the human body. The paper skeleton is a great way to learn about the human body.
