Head, shoulders, knees, and toes… but make it Montessori ✨👩🏫
Today, we labeled body parts using a life-size photo — a fun, hands-on way to connect what children see with the words they say.
Learning body parts isn’t just about pointing and naming — it’s an important step in language development. By matching labels to parts of the body, children practice vocabulary, word recognition, and comprehension. They’re also building the foundation for reading and writing as they connect letters and sounds with meaning.
Plus, it sparks confidence! When children can name their own body parts, they communicate needs more clearly (“My tummy hurts,” “My leg is tired”), which strengthens both independence and expression 💬💡.
And of course… we had plenty of giggles while sticking ‘ears’ on the wrong spot first 😅. Because learning should always come with a little laughter ❤️
