Tiny Tim: My first skeleton

View item in the U of T Libraries catalogue

Learn about the locations and shapes of the bones of the body with Tiny Tim. This miniature skeleton offers a unique hands-on learning experience for young scientists and curious kids. Tiny Tim is also a great desktop accessory.

Though it is not recommended for more advanced study, this model is a wonderful way for children to learn about the structure of the human skeleton. Tiny Tim comes with an informational sheet which provides both a lateral and a anterior view of the skeleton. You can use this informational sheet, along with the model, to teach or quiz your students. For younger students, you could also use one of the songs about the skeletal bones.

Tiny Tim is not your ordinary skeleton. His special features include a movable jaw on springs, a skull whose calvarium (or skullcap) opens for a look inside, and removable arms and legs.
