hanki Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 a large roll of butcher paper (I think that's what it's called)? I will be doing a few units on the human body for a preschool science class at our co-op and I was wanting to trace their bodies so we can paste pictures of organs in the correct place. Also, if any of you have any great human body activites that are on the preschool level, please share with me!! TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth S Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Our local newspaper saves the newsprint endrolls, and we can pick them up for free. You may need to time your visit for when they are available. I don't know the name of the human body book we used, but it is geared easy enough for preschoolers to mid-elementary, with shapes of the organs to cut out or trace. I've had it for over 10 years, but it's a classic--hopefully someone will come along and give you the NAME of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CherylG Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I have the same one-my 14 year old still has his 4 year old body and face in his room...ok, it is crumpled up into a ball on his bookshelf, but boy is it great to look back at that!

OnTheBrink Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I got mine from a man who used to own a print shop. If you can't find any, let me know and I'll send you as long a piece of paper as you want! OH, I just thought of this: Try Hobby Lobby. They have rolled paper used for making banners, etc. It's in the art paper section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I have bought end rolls from small newspaper operations. The big newspapers here in town do not sell them but the smaller ones do. I bought several rolls 5 years ago and we are still using them, there is alot of paper on that roll. The other option if you don't want that much paper, is jsut to go to the post office and buy a small roll of butcher paper used to wrap parcels, It is usually just enough to do a body tracing picture.

Tap Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Costco sells large rolls of butcher paper for under $30. Call the newspapers as others have mentioned. Do you have some old wrapping paper you would like to us up? The back side of most wrapping paper is white. You may ask for donations first before you purchase other paper, it is amazing what people have around their houses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Teacher supply stores and sometimes office stores have bulletin board paper. Oh, and the book I think someone is referring to is My Body by Teacher Created Press.. For lots of preschool human body stuff, google preschool lessons on 5 senses.
