Human Skeleton Cut and Join Worksheet for Preschoolers

How to use this worksheet

Help your child cut out each bone shape carefully, keeping the pieces sorted so none get lost. Lay a blank sheet of paper flat and have your child arrange the bones in the correct body positions before gluing, starting with the skull at the top usually helps anchor the layout. Once the arrangement looks right, glue each bone piece into place one at a time. Step back together to look at the finished skeleton and name each body part.
