Human Body Activities for Kids

Human Body Activities for Kids



 

The human body is marvelous, isn’t it? I am constantly in awe of the amazing creation that encompasses our bodies. Big Brother asked specifically to learn about the human body this summer and we have been having a blast. We have already shared a couple fun posts about the human body, but I thought it would be helpful to feature other human body activities for kids from around the web.

Squishy Human Body Model

Our boys are obsessed with this life-like human model. They love to take the body apart and feel all of the various organs. My only complaint is that it is too hard for a 6-year old to put back together himself (which is probably why it is recommended for 8+), so I end up doing it.

Magic School Bus Human Body

Magic School Bus Human Body DVD

We have checked this DVD out from our library a couple different times and our boys LOVE it. And I love that they are learning about their bodies!

The Human Body App ($2.99) on the iPhone or iPad

This app is incredible. It shows each of the body’s systems separately and how they work. In the digestive system, you can feed the body and watch how the food is digested. In the nervous system, you can touch parts of your body and watch the touch travel to your brain.

    What fun! Thanks for sharing you great ideas. We did a human body study a couple of years ago and topped it off with a brain based obstacle course. My son was five at the time and still remembers it. http://keithaschaos.blogspot.com/2012/03/brain-based-obstacle-course.html
