When you first unfold it, you see this. On the left is something cool my friend Shannon gave us, I have no idea where she got it! On the right is all of our Spanish work-learning body parts in Spanish! We used Sold on Spanish for the printouts.
Open the left side and you see this….
I made him a little flap book (on the left) all about how he has grown through the years. He wrote a bit about each stage of his life. On the right, he told me what he knew and wanted to know about the body and drew me a picture of the body. On the bottom is a printable I made. In the yellow checked pocket, are fingerprint art cards, from the book Ed Emberley’s Fingerprint Drawing Book, as well as fingerprints from all of our family members–which we used to compare and discuss. The other parts are from the curriculum book we used to base this unit on–How Your Body Works. I highly recommend this book, it was an excellent resource for us.
The next section was all about senses and the neurological system. Again, the printables are from the book mentioned above. On the left are a few things cut out from here.
In the middle of this section are also printable from the book. I made a pocket to hold the 3 mini books. On the left is a review of the different systems, as well as a Bible verse. On the right is the Ouch mini book I made.
Finally is the section about the skeletal system. All printables are from the book.
We also added the body parts songs/poems to a side flap, as well as the body parts counting game and the labeling body parts review. A HUGE thank you to the creators of this wonderful lapbook from Homeschool Share, it is great!!

I made him a mini book in the shape of a band aid and he really liked it! Here he is working on his book…
You can find a PDF of the band aid book here
! It was a great personal way to talk about the human life cycle and aging.
We also learned about skin and fingerprints. He had a blast using the book, 
to make fingerprint animals…
We also collected fingerprints from each member of our family so we could compare. Here’s Daddy helping P get his fingerprint…
I broke down and bought the book,
