Family Fun: Name that Body Part!

by MHSjennie June 24, 2010

Have your toddler lay down on a large piece of paper and trace their body. Play the game of  “where’s your eyes? where’s your toes? etc.” Have fun with the drawing, get the crayons out and have them color their shirt, hair, etc. and cut it out when you’re finished! We used the large post-it […]
