Product description
From the author
Use this two-page worksheet to create pasta skeleton designs for four pictured prehistoric animals. The first work area includes a faint Stegosaurus skeleton that students can trace; the other three areas leave room for their own designs. Supply pasta separately and add skeleton reference pictures if needed. Use the activity in class, at home or with a small group.
