I have Muscles and Bones

Today's Art Project was about Bones and Muscles. I traced my almost 3 year old's hands and feet with white chalk on black paper. Then I explained to her how our bodies have bones and muscles. Inside our bodies there are over "200 bones and more than 600 muscles."(See Inside Your Body) I taught her that her bones help support and protect her body. Muscles help you move. 

Then we glued "q-tips bones" in the hands and feet.

I showed her where our bones were in our hands and feet.

She continued to point to every part of her body and say "I have muscles....I have muscles!" 

I showed her pictures of muscles and bones in Usborne "See Inside Your Body." That's a fantastic and educational book!
