X-ray
X
Little Artists !
I thought this x-ray x would be a fun activity to start the week of Halloween, but but you can omit the orange paper and do the craft any time of year . Older children should be encouraged to draw and cut out the bones themselves, in which case regular old construction should be used in place of the foam sheets.
- Gather your materials. You will need one orange and one black piece of construction paper, 2 sheets of white foam , a pen, scissors, glue and crayons. We are using all the metalics , white and black crayons, just to stay with a Halloween theme.
- Have your child color the 2 pieces of paper, although it looks like fantastic squiggles, and they are fantastic, my son informed me that there were cats and a witch on his paper.
- Although we simply colored another option would be to use fun Halloween stickers .
- While your child does that you can draw a bone shape on one sheet of foam, and layer it with the 2nd and cut out.
- Trim the black piece of paper into a square and glue on the orange paper.
- Make a X with glue.
- Add the bones!

I’m loving this! I hope we can do it with my daughter this week!
Very cute! We’re going in order and are just starting “D” so it will be a while – but by then she will really “get it” and will love making the “X”!!
