My Body Activities for Tots & Preschoolers w/ Free Printables

Sunshine has been showing interest in learning more about her body.  I'm excited about this because she seems to lack body awareness in certain situations.  She's also noticing differences between herself and others.  What a perfect time to introduce My Body Activities for Tots and Preschoolers!

Teaching toddlers about their bodies can be so much fun. There are so many different angles you can take, especially when they're asking questions.

My Body Activities


Here's what we've been up to!


My Body Activities for  Tots & Preschoolers with Free Printables  


Body Parts Match Up


Body Parts Match Up with Free Printable


Sunshine will match up body part pictures, identifying the proper part as she does so.  She does very well at matching activities so I'm hoping she'll be able to see this one through to the end. If it's too overwhelming, I'll only present a few cards at a time.

This activity was inspired by Princess. Sunshine will identify the proper phase of life on each card and match them up to one of the Fisher Price baby, girl, father, and grandmother figures below.

 If she does extremely well with this, I will work on sequencing the cards with her, first with four, and then progressing to six using our foam letters.

I Can Dress Myself

Sunshine does quite well dressing herself already, but she can always use some extra practice.  She will dress herself, identifying which body parts each of the pieces of clothing cover.  I may include a hat, sunglasses, and other items as well as the week progresses.

    1. I'm so sorry you're having difficulties. My first thought would be to check your SPAM folder. Sometimes the message goes there. If that doesn't work, send me an e-mail at everystarisdifferent4@gmail.com and I will make sure you have the information you need to access the printable.

  5. Do the children match the body part cards to themselves?

  6. How do they use the body parts matching? Do they match the picture to their body?

    Thanks,
