Make Your Own Skeleton

Author DK
This interactive step-by-step kit combines learning with fun to make a 3D model of the human skeleton.

Based on a real human skeleton, this 49-cm-tall model is easy to put together, and the book is jam-packed with facts about bones, joints and muscles. As you turn each page, you'll piece together a different part of the skeleton. Starting with the base, use the clear step-by-step photographic instructions to build the legs, feet, ribs, shoulders, arms, and skull.

As you continue to build the model, you'll also build your human anatomy knowledge. Learn about different bone shapes and sizes, discover how bones grow and repair themselves, and find out how bones and muscles work together to allow you to throw and kick.
We believe in the power of discovery. That's why we create books for everyone that explore ideas and nurture curiosity about the world we live in.
 
From first words to the Big Bang, from the wonders of nature to city adventures, you will find expert knowledge, hours of fun and endless inspiration in the pages of our books.
