Draw a
simple X-ray with white chalk on black construction paper. Explain that
you can see bones on an X-ray and that you are going to draw some bones
that you might see in an X-ray of the body. Draw each body part on the
chalkboard and then wait for the children to draw that body part on their
papers. Start with the head, then the neck and body, then shoulders, arms
and fingers. Have a small red heart cut from construction paper to glue
the heart on the right side of their skeleton drawings.

Give each child one sheet of 1" graph paper. Show the children how to
draw an X in each of the squares by first drawing a diagonal line from the
top right corner of the square to the opposite corner, and then a diagonal
line from the top left corner of the square to the opposite corner. Invite
children to practice making exact X's on the graph paper. For fun, work
with small groups of children and help them cross-stitch over their X's.
Use yarn and plastic needles.

Whip up a mixture of white paint and a lot of liquid soap. Pour the mixture
into a pie pan or plate. Using black construction paper let the kids make
handprints. The bubbles make it dry transparent.
