Tonight after dinner the children decided to pull out this skeleton kit for a little model building fun. My husband and I came upon this kit by happenstance when we were in Sam's Club the other day. We finished our study of the skeletal system weeks ago but I thought this could be a way to review in a fun way.
It was really funny watching them put the rib cage onto the spine upside down. We also got a big laugh out of mistaking the pelvic bone for the scapula( shoulder blade).
Dad got in there and help us get our guy up onto the stand. He said we should get an extra one next time we are in the store so he can have his own. He really tried hard not to take over the kit from the kiddos. It is pretty hard not to get swept up in the model building mania. Dad was even talking about painting his kit with metallic gray paint and adding claws to make it look like Wolverine's animantium skeleton.
Probably one of the best things about this kit is that it came with its own display case. With all the little hands I have around here it is a necessity to keep the pieces from coming up missing or in little folks mouths.
Look at all my "Mad Scientist"!
