Fascinating facts about bones will be on offer to preschoolers next week at two action packed sessions at the University of Aberdeen’s Natural History Centre.
Youngsters will be able to go on a trail through the Zoology museum and hunt for some unusual animal bones.
They will also get the chance to handle real animal bones including a rhino skull, tiger skull, hippo tooth and a tuna fish back bone.
And once they have learned a bit about bones, they can make a paper skeleton to take home.
Sandra Bisset, Education Officer at the Natural History Centre, said: "Our Scary Skeletons sessions promise to be great fun as well as full of fantastic facts about bones.
"Finding out about bones is really important for youngsters as it help them understand more about their own bodies."
Scary Skeletons is part of the University's hugely popular Nature Tots programme which has been running for four years, bringing thousands of toddlers to the University's Zoology Building.
Scary Skeletons is free and open to children aged from two to five. The sessions take place on Friday, September 28 from 10am until 12 noon and then again between 2pm and 4pm.
Children must be accompanied by an adult and booking is essential – telephone 01224 274545.
