Human Body Theme

This week we will explore the human body and even take a look at some of the different systems our body is made up of. Kids are always moving their bodies and this week we will take a look at the different parts of our body as well as the different systems that make our body work. Are you ready to dive in? Let’s go!

NOTE: Some of the activity links go straight to a pin on Pinterest instead of a blog page. Read the description of the pin for the activity instructions. If you are new here, make sure to check out the Themed Curriculum page for more details about how to use this curriculum. Looking for a different theme? Check out all of our themes here.
