My daughter always asks me what is happening to her food after she eats it. I know that kids always find the end destination of food in our bodies hilarious.

When we studied muscles, I think the best takeaway my son had was his new favorite word, gluteus maximus, in case you didn’t know, that’s butt.

You can cut up the cards remove the words and then have your child try to match them up. These printables focus on the major organs of the body: the brain, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, stomach, small and large intestines.

What are the functions of the human body organs?

Organs belong to different systems in the body. The five body organs vital for survival are the brain, lungs, heart, kidneys, and liver.

Brain

It controls the entire body and is responsible for feeling pain, heat, and touch through the nervous system.

Lungs

This organ belongs to the respiratory system and provides oxygen to the body. It also expels waste by exhaling carbon dioxide.

Heart

The heart pumps blood throughout the body and carries the oxygen with it to ensure each part of the body is oxygenated.

Kidneys

Kidneys are part of the excretory system that makes urine to get rid of waste from the body.

Liver, Stomach, and Intestines

These other organs, the liver, stomach, and small and large intestines, belong to the digestive system and help the body digest food to get nutrients into the body.

What’s included in preschool human body printables?

The organs that they can study and locate are the brain, heart, kidneys, small and large intestines, liver, lungs, and stomach.

These printables are great for learning about the human body. It will also give them the idea of how important it is to take care of their bodies because the organs have their own functions to fulfill.

Knowing the locations of the organs enables children to pinpoint which part of their bodies is unwell or in pain. Being able to communicate things like these with us, will help us to be able to know what to do and what medications to give them.

How to use these preschool human body printables?

Cut out the organs and place them in the correct location on the body so that your child can get a sense of where the organs are located. It’s not to scale but it’s a fun puzzle for your child to try to solve.

The small intestines graphic isn’t as accurate as I’d like; it should consist of a set of tubes winding around each other. If it were stretched out, it would be 5 feet or 1.5 meters long.

It is not visible in the picture, but the kidneys should be located in the lower back area. This includes an answer key but the kidneys are difficult to see, they are positioned in the back relative to all of the other organs.

These printables will surely help your child have a good grasp of the human anatomy, the different systems, the organs it consists of, and its location.

Ways to extend this activity

You can cut out the 3-part cards, then mix up the words, and have your child match the cards so they look like the whole card with the word on it.

If your child can read, try not to use the card with the word on it and see if they can remember the vocabulary word without looking.

There is a male and female body to choose from for the image of the body. Let them cut the organs, then paste it on the human body image.
