  • X-Ray Handprints … we did this years ago before my oldest started school. A fun activity and I get to keep his handprints! 
    1. Paint palms and fingers with white paint.
    2. Press on black paper.
    3. Let dry & trace with white crayon to make a handprint x-ray!

  • The Skeleton Song & Dance … what a fun little video to dance along to!
    1. Have the kids get up and dance along.
    2. Try to wiggle and shake the bones they are singing about!

  • Edible X-ray Bones … We actually made these bone breadsticks for Halloween, but they would be a fun snack to do along with X-rays too.
    1. Use any breadstick recipe you have. I included my favorite below
    2. Roll out and use a pizza cutter to cut into strips.
    3. Slice 2-3” up each end and roll to form the end of the bone.
      • My orthopedic husband let me know that there is actually no bone in the body that looks like this … oh well, they tasted great! Smile
    4. I like to brush with a little melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic salt and parmesan cheese (before I cut them into strips.)
    5. They would also be good brushed with a little melted butter and sprinkled with cinnamon & sugar!

    2. Glue candy bones to the X for your alphabet letter of the week. I found these candy bone sprinkles on Amazon here.

  • Read Jessica’s X-Ray by Pat Zonta. Available here!
    1. We found this at the library and it’s a great book with real x-rays inside.
    2. My 3-year-old loved looking at the x-rays and it was easy to explain that an x-ray is a picture of our bones inside of us.

  • Invisible Xs
    1. Use a white crayon to draw X’s all over a white piece of paper.
    2. Mix up some black paint (watered down)
    3. Paint all over the paper and the X’s magically appeared.
    4. We tried it again with just a fun picture drawn with the white crayon. It was fun to see the pictures magically show up.
