The average adult has 206 bones, but some people grow small bones (sesamoid) at the base of the thumb or big toe.
Children have more bones in the skull and sacrum that later fuse into 1 large bone, sometimes as late as age 30.
To the person who said more than half are in the hands and feet, half of 206 is 103. Let's count:
5 metacarpals in each hand x 2
5 metatarsals in each foot x 2
14 phalanges in the fingers x 2
14 phalanges in the toes x 2
= 10 + 10 + 28 + 28 = 76/206: well under 1/2
Even if you include ankles and wrists, that's another 30 carpals and tarsals:
96/206

The skeleton of an infant contains 350 (the bones fuse together as you grow).
In an adult 206.
More than half the bones in an adult body are are found in your hands and feet.
