Human Body ~ Body Parts

We have (finally) started our human body unit. I have been meaning to do this for awhile now, but just haven’t gotten around to it. I found some human body books at an Op Shop and R found them and started reading them.

He loved reading them and kept asking to learn more, so I have finally started trying to getting everything organised and ready.

The first thing we did was learn about different parts of the body. This was just a general overview as we will get into more detail later.

We used these {FREE} Parts of the Body Montessori Inspired Cards, though our boys already knew them, it was good to review them.

I also made some Human Body Systems Cards as well.

We made these awesome t-shirts from Ellen McHenrys. I taped the correct sized template to a piece of cardboard and then copied it through the shirt with a black marker. I clipped the sides of the shirt to the cardboard so that it wouldn’t move.

Below is a finished shirt. You could colour the different parts in different colours, but I like it black and white better.

I found this Parts of My Body Puzzle at a cheap shop which we completed many times.

I also found these foam puzzles at a cheap shop, which the boys really enjoyed. I have other puzzles like this for different parts of the body, but we will just them when we get to those parts.

I purchased this My Body book from Currclick which used to make our Paper Human Body (pictured below). The templates were a little small for our boys, but we just left them as they were. You could enlarge them if you wanted too.
