Preschool Science - My Body Unit (Lesson 3)

Winter is here and we are trapped inside like hibernating bears. We are however getting lots and lots of learning fun in our daily schedule. So, we have fallen a bit behind in science. This is due to the fact that we have been solely focusing on reading (sight word identification) and phonemes. We will however be continuing on with our "My Body" unit so as not to forget what we were learning previously. 

So far, we had outlined/painted our body shape, and identified/sorted items according to food groups. Today, we did a simple task of identifying/labelling the various body parts. I started off with posting our body collage to the wall. I would then call out the names of various body parts that were written on little cards and let my preschooler tell me where they were located on the body collage. It was fun and he got to tape the cards on the specified body parts that he had pointed out earlier.

Overall, it is a good visual to have on our wall and I will keep it there until we finish our unit for further review/activities.

This unit is getting interesting. Any ideas on what to teach about our bodies to preschoolers?
