The Skeleton Costume resembles the human skeleton. It is a rigid framework that provides protection and structure. The average adult human skeleton has around 206 bones. These bones meet at joints, the majority of which are freely movable. The skeleton also contains cartilage for elasticity. Ligaments are strong strips of fibrous connective tissue that hold bones together at joints, thereby stabilizing the skeleton during movement.

The human skull shapes the head and face, protects the brain, and houses and protects special sense organs for taste, smell, hearing, vision, and balance. It is constructed from 22 bones, 21 of which are locked together by immovable joints to form a structure of great strength.

The ribs are curved, flat bones with a slightly twisted shaft. The 12 pairs of ribs form a ribcage that protects major organs of the body

The spine supports the head, the chest and the structure that carries the arms. It is made of small bones called vertebrae. The spine, all together, is called the spinal column. It is not straight, but has curves that help support the body, and help the person to move and bend.  The pelvic bones are carried by the leg bones, and they support the spinal column. Each pelvic bone has a strong structure for the leg bone to fit into, so that a person can stand, walk, run and jump. Legs and feet are specialized for two legged locomotion.  Human arms are very mobile, allowing us to reach at a wide range of distances and angles. The hands attached to the arms are capable of grasping and fine manipulation of objects.
