Made with a 6-year-old (except for the hands)
Fait avec une enfant de 6 ans (sauf les mains)
Activity done with 4-year-old children. A bit difficult to cut the straws. Need help but the result is very nice. Be careful, no plastic straws.
Activité faite avec des enfants de 4 ans. Un peu difficile pour couper les pailles. Besoin d'aide mais rendu très sympa. Attention pas de paille en plastique
It's a shame I can't share the result because this skeleton is really nice!
