We have been learning the skeletal system and naming bones. As a fun end to the unit, I found this 3-D puzzle at Michael's. The girls punched the wooden pieces out, sanded them down and pieced them together. It was a VERY difficult puzzle and even had me challenged. It looks simple, but all the ribs were just slightly different from each other, and each piece of the skull had to be put in just the right order. And, none of the pieces were marked. After we finished him, I glued him with wood glue so I could dispose of the horrible instructions that had caused me so much frustration. : )
But it was all worth it. Hands-on learning is most memorable!
