bbsweetpea Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 My kids REALLY wanted to study the human body this year and I am looking for some books to go along with it. We have Play and Find out about the Human Body by Janice Van Cleave and have The human body for every kid on hold at the library to check out (for few more experiments). I also have a Flip Chart of the body that shows the different systems, parts etc. We have lots of board games and puzzles but I still would like some fun books to add along with it and maybe a coloring book. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Building Up Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I highly recommend the Flip Flap Body Book. Everyone in our house from my 3yo up to my 7yo loves this book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbsweetpea Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 We love that flip flap book. My kids would fight over it so much that I bought this one as well.

Julie in CA Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I know this isn't what you asked for, but just had to mention it because I used it when my dc were about the ages of your oldest. We had a book called "My Body" (it's still available at Rainbow Resource). You trace and cut out your body from butcher paper (or other similar paper), and then you learn about each organ, cutting out a paper version and gluing/taping it onto your paper body where it belongs. My children absolutely adored that project, and still remember it fondly today. Lol, my oldest carried it even further, cutting out a cat shape, and trying to put organs where they belonged by looking in the encyclopedia. :001_smile: Have fun!

Dana Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 We've been using the body book recommended by Julie and it's great. I also picked up this body model with removable parts. It has a book that comes along with it. I think my favorite part about the model is the diaphragm. All the 2D models show it as a strip when its shape is closer to a dome.
