Tracing Body

With a piece of chalk and a sidewalk, your child can learn about body parts with an outline of his own body.

Have your child lie on the sidewalk. Trace around your child saying what part of the body you're tracing. "I'm tracing around the head, ears, neck, shoulders," and so on. Expect a bunch of giggles and movement while you trace, which is part of the fun. The final outline may not be the best representation of a body, but your child will still have fun coloring in his eyes, nose, mouth and clothes.
