Who Is This Printable For?

These pages are designed for preschoolers who are learning body-part names and beginning to recognize letters and sounds.

Use one page at a time at home or in a preschool classroom, with an adult nearby to read directions and name the pictures.

Why Use Human Body Worksheets for Preschool?

Familiar body parts give young children something concrete to talk about while practicing early learning skills.

Kids can connect the pictures to their own bodies as they color, listen for beginning sounds, and trace words.

Recommended Human Body Books

Read a few picture books about the human body alongside these worksheets. Look for clear illustrations that help preschoolers name familiar body parts and talk about what they do.

What Will Kids Learn?

These pages combine early science vocabulary with literacy and fine motor practice.

• Body-part recognition: Name familiar parts of the body.
• Beginning sounds: Match picture names with their first letters.
• Letter recognition: Identify letters from a choice of three.
• Sorting by location: Identify body parts found on the head.
• Pencil control: Practice tracing words and coloring pictures.

What Supplies Are Needed?

You only need a few basic supplies.

• Printer (I have this one)
• Paper
• Pencil
• Crayons
• Dot markers

I have the HP printer 8710, but it’s no longer available. It’s been running well for years now. Consider another HP Instant Ink-ready printer so that you can use their program to send you ink cartridges whenever your printer gets low on ink.

What Is Included?

The four-page printable gives preschoolers several ways to practice body-part names.

Eyes Activity

This page features a large letter E, a picture of eyes to color, and the word “eyes” to trace.

Beginning Sounds

Kids name each body-part picture and circle the letter it starts with from three choices. Read the picture names aloud as needed so children can listen for the first sound.

My Head

Children color the body parts they can find on their heads. The page mixes head parts with other body parts so kids can decide which pictures belong.

My Body Parts

Kids color pictures of lips, teeth, a tongue, and a neck, then trace each word beside its picture.

How Can You Extend the Activity?

Keep exploring the human body with a few simple follow-up ideas.

• Make a Thumbprint Skeleton Craft with paint and cotton swabs to introduce the idea of bones inside the body.
• Try the Make Your Own Paper Bag Lungs Activity together to explore breathing with a simple model.
