The human body is an amazing thing that kids will be fascinated to learn about. Did you know:

  • Heart beats 100,000 times a day!
  • Color of your skin is determined by the level of pigment melanin your body makes
  • Most adults have 32 teeth
  • Smallest bone in the body is in the middle ear
  • Your nose and ears keep growing your whole life!
  • Everyone has not only a unique fingerprint, but a unique tongue print too!
  • It takes about 12 hours to completely digest food you eat!
  • Infants have 270 bones at birth and only 206 bones as an adult

Kids will love leaning about what is inside their body by making a replica of themselves and taking a peak at the bones and organs inside.

The Human Body Project

For this parts of the body project ideas have your children lay on a large sheet of butcher paper and trace their body. Cut out their shape. For really young children you can stop here and have them decorate the clothes their body is wearing. You can talk about how clothes protect our bodies.

  • Cut out the bones in the printable
  • Glue bones on the cut-out.
kids will have fun practicing labeling the bones in the body with this fun science project for kids

Body System Project Ideas

To help my kids learn the name of the bones, I had them write the names of the bones on their body. For younger students you don’t need to learn all the names. You may just learn a few or none, but the visual is amazing. Have them press on their arm and ask if they can feel the hard bone under their skin that is holding their body together.

We used this free printable Skeletal System Worksheet to learn about and label the bones.

  • Skull – including the jaw bone
  • Spine – cervical, thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, sacrum and tailbone (coccyx)
  • Chest – ribs and breastbone (sternum)
  • Arms – shoulder blade (scapula), collar bone (clavicle), humerus, radius and ulna
  • Hands – wrist bones (carpals), metacarpals and phalanges
  • Pelvis – hip bones
  • Legs – thigh bone (femur), kneecap (patella), shin bone (tibia) and fibula
  • Feet – tarsals, metatarsals and phalanges.

  • Bladder – This stores urine until we are ready to go to the bathroom.
  • Large intestine – It absorbs water from the food we eat and helps in the formation of solid waste.
  • Small intestine – This is where most of the digestion and absorption of nutrients happens.
  • Stomach – It helps break down food and starts the digestion process.
  • Liver – It processes nutrients, filters blood, and aids in detoxification.
  • Pancreas – This organ helps regulate blood sugar levels by producing insulin.

    Thank you so much for this! My granddaughter is only 4 1/2 but her mom is a doctor and tells her all about how her body works. She is fascinated with body parts and this will be so much fun for her. She has been cooped up with her dad during the pandemic while her mom works and dad is always looking for more things to keep her active mind occupied!
