Here are some ideas for a "My Body" theme for preschool: ^{musicalchild.com.au 1 2}

• Teach children about the different parts of the body, such as hands, thumbs and fingers, head, shoulders, knees, toes, eyes, ears, mouth, nose, hair, feet and lips.
• Teach children about common childhood illnesses that can affect the body, such as mumps, measles, and chicken pox.
• Teach children about healthy food choices, such as spaghetti and meatballs, peas in a peapod, nutmeg and pear.
• Have children compare their own hands to a picture of a baby's and an adult's handprint.
• Have children practice different movements, such as walking around in grown-up steps and then in baby steps, crawling like a baby, making small toddler jumps, and finally jumping like big kids.
