Name the Body Parts! (preschool activity)
Lesson in: vocabulary, self awareness
This is easy but 3-5 year olds like it. You will be tracing your child/ children’s bodies.
EXTENSIONS: foreign language names for body parts
Basically, get old wrapping paper, a roll of drawing paper or paper bags.
! Roll out or tape together the backsides of big paper pieces.
! Flip so blank side is up.
! Have your child lie on the paper.
! Trace his or her entire body, fingers and all.
! Identify parts, draw eyes (ask your child what color eyes, hair, etc.) he or she has.
! Hang it on the wall as a piece of art
! If your child is old enough or is interested, he or she can collage, paint, color, etc.
! Have fun…
