Halloween is the perfect time to be learning about and celebrating the body! Today's Teaching Your Children Joy activity is to make a body puzzle that will help your child learn the names and placement of body parts. A few weeks ago I'd bought a foam skeleton and it worked perfectly to use it today!
We added googly eyes and a bright red heart to make the skeleton a little less creepy. We identified everything visible from the skull down to the toes first on the skeleton and then on ourselves. It turned out to be a great lesson as I found out that B was confused about which is the elbow and which is the shoulder.
Once assembled, the real fun began!
B was still making his skeleton dance and groove hours later, and when his dad got home from work it was the only thing B wanted to show him.

Ooh, perfect! For learning and for the season. My five-year-old would really take to it. Found you through the Living Life Intentionally linky. :)
fun way to learn the bones and parts! Great idea. I like making it into a puzzle too. Thanks for sharing on Monday Madness. Hope you come back again tomorrow!
This is cute - and you're right, this is the perfect time to learn about body parts and bones. Thanks for linking up to Monday Madness!
