Let's Play Doctor
Is your child learning about the parts of their body? You can support this learning by playing a game of doctor!
In fact, young children actually learn faster through play, and playing doctor is an engaging way to teach your child all kinds of body-related vocabulary words.
You don’t need fancy toys to play – you could use a popsicle stick tongue depressor, a flashlight to check eyes and ears, a piece of cloth to wrap pretend injuries, or an old infant medicine syringe.
You can also extend their learning by reading some books about the body. Check out our recommendations below!
