How To Make Spooky Skeletons For Halloween

Start by creating your skeleton’s spooky little skull! Toddlers and preschoolers may need help with this part. Simply draw and cut one out using a scrap piece of white paper, then have fun adding a face. Make it creepy, silly, cute—or a little bit of all three!

Next, simply arrange Q-tips on black paper to create the skeleton’s arms, legs, ribs, hands, and feet, breaking or cutting them into smaller pieces wherever needed. Add your pre-made paper skeleton face, then glue everything into place.

Helpful Tip: Start by arranging the body, legs, and arms just how you want them, making sure everything fits nicely on the paper before adding the smaller details and gluing it all in place.
