| Additional Comments: |
Ahead of time we cut the Q-tips to the correct size and used a tracer to make all the heads the same size (cut out of plain white paper). We also drew the faces on the skeletons ahead of time. All of this was put into a baggie so the kids each had what they needed. A sample was created so they could copy the idea. The kids said they were excited to hang this project on their front door. |
