How to reference this medium
Bones, muscles, and sinews support and shape our bodies. Because the individual bones have different functions, they differ from each other in shape and size. The longest, strongest bones in the body are in the legs.
Information and Ideas:
• The teacher/educator should, using the masking tape and glue stick, join together several sheets of news-paper to create a paper surface on which a child can lie comfortably with arms and legs stretched out and slightly apart. The newspaper should be fixed on the floor using masking tape or stones. Any clean, firm, level surface (wood, con-crete) can also be used instead of newspaper.
• Please observe the general safety and hygiene measures and safety instructions in the respective teaching methods as well as the applicable safety guidelines for your school.
• All materials mentioned in the instructions will have to be purchased directly from commercial sources.
