After our study of Earth Science, we’ll be jumping into the human body. So you’ll see a weekly science worksheet addition to our human body study with different human body system worksheets. Because who isn’t interested in the human body? It’s bloody, squishy and gross, kids will love it. There are so many activities and experiments that can be completed to go along with them as well.
We eat food and drink water on a daily basis, the first system we jump into is the digestive system. This, of course, can leave to many jokes about the exit point of food but I’ll leave that up to you on how you’d like to proceed with that. We laugh and joke and the kids are particularly interested in learning about where poop is stored. Who would have known? Ha! These digestive system worksheets for kids will take you through the journey a food makes through your body.
My only thing is that the images are not completely accurate as the small intestines look very short, when in fact we know that they are very long and piled up in there, other than that these printables are a great way to teach your little ones about their digestive system.

There are colored pictures for labeling and then line pictures for coloring in. They also come in both sexes so you can decide to use the female or male. I know my kids identify with their own sex so they’d prefer to use that image instead.
You can use the books to help you figure out where the digestive system organs are located as well.

Respiratory Systems Worksheets for Kids
I love your printables for the systems of the body, but there are no answer keys to them. (The digestive track specifically.). Can you include a cheat sheet for parents with the answers filled in for the cut and paste part? For example, I have no idea where the rectum is vs the anus.
I’m working on adding the answer keys, will update the post once I do.
Do you have an answer key for these sheets?
I’m working on updating my systems worksheets to include answer sheets.
Just wondering. Did you ever do an updated version of the digestive system with an answer key? Can’t figure out a couple of the labels. Thank you for such a wonderful resource!
Yes, I just uploaded all of the answer keys for the human body system printables.
Thank you 🙂
You’re welcome!
