Hello, Me!

Goal: Point to and name the main parts of the body, and say what some of them do.

For parents: Toddlers learn body words fastest through songs and touch. Name each part as you wash, dress and dry them — that is most of this unit.

Do together

  1. Head, shoulders, knees and toes

    You need: Nothing

    Sing it slowly and touch each part together. Next time, stop before a word and let your child say it — and touch it.

  2. Mirror game

    You need: A mirror

    Sit together in front of a mirror. Ask 'Where is your nose?' and let them point on themselves and in the mirror. Swap: they ask, you point — sometimes wrongly, so they can correct you.

  3. Hand and foot prints

    You need: Paper, a pencil, washable paint or crayons

    Draw around their hand and foot. Count the fingers and toes together, then let them colour them in. Put it on the wall with their name.
