Make Your Own Skeleton - (DK Make Your Own) by DK (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Build a 67-piece human skeleton model and learn anatomy with this interactive step-by-step book and craft kit.

Combine learning with fun and build your own 3D human skeleton model with this interactive kit for 9-12 year olds, based on a real human skeleton.

Children will love to learn about the incredible human body as they build this 49.5-cm-tall model that is easy to put together. While assembling, they can read the accompanying book that is full of facts about bones, joints, and muscles. Each page looks at a different part of the skeleton as you piece it together, building human anatomy knowledge along the way.

This exciting make-your-own skeleton kit offers:

• 67 sturdy photographic "bones" that press out from boards, with the finished model standing at 49.5 cm tall.
• An easy-to-assemble kit - no need for glue, the pieces just slot together following the step-by-step instructions.
• A book to learn as you build, packed with facts about all the parts that make up the human skeleton - from bones and ligaments to joints and tendons

Building a 3D human skeleton model has never been easier. Starting with the base, use clear step-by-step photographic instructions to build the legs, feet, ribs, shoulders, arms, and skull. As you continue to build the model, you'll learn about different bone shapes and sizes, find out how bones grow and repair themselves, and understand how bones and muscles work together to allow you to throw and kick.
