This little guy was a blast to make. And, happily, my kids were snitching the veggies so fast I had to keep cutting just to get enough to make him. We made it as a surprise for some friends, and left it on their counter. They all loved it too!

If you do not like ranch dip, make your own dip to create the head for your skeleton. For a little extra fun I put green onions at the top for hair.
A great Halloween Story to enjoy with this activity is: Skeleton Hiccups
This is a darling book about when a skeleton gets the hiccups and doesn’t know how to get rid of them. My littles were laughing and trying to come up with ideas for how you would rid a skeleton of hiccups! I loved every minute of it.
