Anatomy for PK/K

[jrcronewillis]

Hi Everyone!
My 4yo DS is very interested in human anatomy. We do a "body part" everyday and have a couple of books on the subject (one for kids and another a real anatomy book--guess which one he wants to read from every day! The endocrine system just isn't that interesting to read aloud). The problem is that he is just beginning to learn to read, but he has a strong memory and spacial sense and wants to be self-directed in some of his anatomy exploration. Does anyone know of any anatomy (online in particular, but we'll take all suggestions) resources which are not particularly reading heavy?

We're planning a trip to the Chicago museum of Science and Industry to see the body exhibit in a couple of weeks--I think that will fill up his cup for a while.

Thanks for any help.

Is that the Body exhibit where they use the bodies of the Chinese prisoners? We didn't go see it.

I would suggest doing a search at www.homeschooltools.com to see what they have that looks interesting. I looked up anatomy and got all these - http://www.hometrainingtools.com/sea...natomy&x=0&y=0 The coloring books may be interesting. Although many of the things are geared for older ages if you are helping them they "get it". I'm amazed at how much my DD's know about astronomy just because we don't dumb it down. Anyway - this book is neat - http://tinyurl.com/26xjdw. I want to get this - http://tinyurl.com/2baln5 but it has little pieces and my baby would eat them.
