I’ve rounded up some fun brain crafts and I have some free brain activity worksheets. Also, I have this Human Body Crafts page for more hands-on ideas. And this Beautiful Human Body Lapbook and Fun Unit Study.

Your brain is made up of billions of tiny cells called neurons. And your brain is about 75% water.

The best way to learn about the brain is to add some brain crafts.

Also, I have some activity pages if you want to add them to your unit study or do them stand alone.

There are some cool facts you’ll want to read with your child like the brain doesn’t really feel pain. That is why some doctors can perform brain surgery while the patient is awake.

Here is a simple activity to teach your younger child to label the bones of the arm, learning what each is called and what they do. Also, I have this Human Body Crafts page for more hands-on ideas. And this Beautiful Human Body Lapbook and Fun Unit Study.

Label the Bones of the Arm X-Ray Simple Activity

This project is probably best for preschool or kindergarten to introduce them to the concept of bones, x-rays, and basic human body structure.

A human arm is made up of three bones: the upper arm bone called the humerus, and two forearm bones, known as the ulna and the radius. 

Each one works in unique ways to shape and protect the body.

Learning the hows and whys of how they work is an important early anatomy lesson for kids.

And it can be done through fun hands-on activities that make your child more involved in the process.

Bones of the Arm

Forearm- The section from your elbow to the wrist.

Upper Arm- The area of the arm from elbow to shoulder.

Humerus- Besides leg bones this is the longest bone in your body and is very important to the moving of the arm.

It supports many important muscles, tendons, ligaments, and even some parts of your circulatory system.

Radius- Located in the forearm, closest to the thumb. It twists and changes position based on how the hand is moved. 

It is slightly longer than the ulna.

Ulna-In the forearm closest to the pinky finger. The ulna is stationary and doesn’t twist like the radius.

If you want bones of the human body that will last from preschool through possibly high school this true-to-life set of X-rays can be used for simple bone identification through more complex identification and labeling.

They are fun to play with and don’t even require a lightbox; we simply hold them or tape them up in a bright window.

Finally, look how to label the bones of the arm x-ray activity.

Label the Bones of the Arm X-Ray Simple Activity

A great advantage of this activity is that it requires very few supplies and very little setup to give your child a valuable lesson on labelling the bones of the arm.

You will need:

  • Black construction paper
  • White crayon
  • White cardstock
  • Glue stick
  • Scissors
Label the Bones of the Arm X-Ray Simple Activity

First, lay your child’s entire arm across the black construction paper and carefully trace it with a white crayon.

 For older children, you will probably need to tape two pieces of paper end to end to use and include as much of the shoulder as you can to challenge them a bit more on labeling.

Label the Bones of the Arm X-Ray Simple Activity

Go back over the tracing you did and darken it by going over it once or twice more.

Label the Bones of the Arm X-Ray Simple Activity

Cut white cardstock into strips as long as each part of your child’s arm, making the top single one a little thicker and the bottom two a bit thinner.

Show your child how to glue the two thinner strips into place on the lower part of the arm nearest the hand; these will become the ulna and radius.

Label the Bones of the Arm X-Ray Simple Activity

If you’d like to help make it a little bit easier to remember where the bones are you can lightly draw them in with a pencil.

Place the larger “bone” on the upper portion of the arm you traced to replicate the humerus, it should just barely touch the lower bones where the elbow bends, and secure it in place using a glue stick.

Label the Bones of the Arm X-Ray Simple Activity

Now make labels for the three bones using scrap pieces of your cardstock and have your child glue those into place in the proper spots.

Their simple creation can now be used for dramatic play as an x-ray as they pretend to be doctors or put on display to help them remember
