But all that he could see see see,

was the bottom of the sea sea sea.

Answer 3

How about t for tummy.  

For an art project you could have them glue yarn all squiggled onto a picture of a torso as the intestines?  This is a tough one.  I mean, how in-depth do you get into the digestive system with preschoolers?

Answer 4

Why don't you focus on how their mouths aid digestions. Then you could use the words teeth (grind up the food) and tongue (helps you swallow the food). You could have the kids make pictures of their mouths; have them cut out a mouth shape that you have traced and then have them glue on Styrofoam "popcorn" teeth and cut out and tape on a tongue. They could also make a tooth puppet with white construction paper and Popsicle sticks, them add black dots to make "Cavity Creeps". Stories: The Crocodile and the Dentist, The Tale of Tall Toothbrush, any other dentist stories. In circle you could describe the different textures and tastes of food, make a graph of favorite foods, discuss which foods are good for your teeth and which ones are not, and the importance of brushing their teeth. To bring some science in you could bring in an egg (compare the shell to their teeth) and soak it in vinegar to see what happens to it. Music: Have them use their cavity creeps tooth puppets to dance to this chant "We make holes in teeth..."

Answer 5

u could get them to colour in a picture of the digestive system

Answer 6

Art is easy! I would let them use different materials to create what they think the inside of the body looks like! Music I heard a song like " the left foot connected to left leg etc.".

Circle time... what about talking about what keeps your body healthy.
