Why the skeleton costume doubles as a bit of biology
The skeleton costume is one of the few Halloween costumes that teaches something scientific along the way: anyone who dresses as a skeleton almost automatically learns the general layout of the body's major bones — from the rib cage to the spine to the arms and legs. That makes this costume a favorite for curious kids who like combining Halloween fun with a bit of body knowledge.
