Let's make a Dancing Skeleton!

October 8, 2025
Share

Get ready for some spooky fun!

Kids will love creating their own dancing skeletons using cotton buds and a bit of imagination. It’s the perfect mix of creativity and Halloween magic — build, play, and design your very own bony buddy before gluing it all together!

You will need:

  • Black paper or card
  • Cotton buds
  • Glue
  • Our Dancing Skeleton Free Printable

Steps:

1. Cut out a skeleton head from our free printable
2. Cut some cotton buds in half 
3. Let children go wild recreating and matching the designs below, then make their own!
4. Have lots of fun playing first before sticking it down. Make a few!
5. Now, you can hang them up as decorations, or you could make greeting cards for friends!

Bonus Idea - why not take photos of your skeletons in different poses, then when you scroll through them in your photo reel, it will look like he's dancing!
