Basic Steps in the Digestive System and a Fun Digestive System Craft

September 12, 2023 | Leave a Comment
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

I have a fun and easy digestive system craft activity for you to demonstrate how our stomach breaks down food. Also, I have this Human Body Crafts page for more hands-on ideas. And this Beautiful Human Body Lapbook and Fun Unit Study.

As is appropriate for the preschool and early elementary crowd, it’s a hands-on activity and of course a little gross – making for a very memorable lesson indeed.

Basic Steps in the Digestive System and a Fun Digestive System Craft

The stomach is just one part of the digestive system.

It is one that is easy to demonstrate for young learners and is what we will focus on for this craft/activity.

Let’s look at a simple breakdown of the digestive system.

Basic Steps in The Digestive System

Mouth – This is where your digestive system starts, your saliva helps break down your food as you chew, and then when you are ready to swallow it your tongue pushes the food down your throat and into your esophagus.

Esophagus – In the esophagus the small flap called the epiglottis closes over your windpipe so that you don’t choke on it. Contractions in the esophagus work to deliver food to your stomach.

Stomach – The stomach can stretch and hold up to 4 pounds of food at a time. Once food has reached your stomach it is mixed with enzymes until it is broken down enough to pass onto the small intestine.

Small Intestine – The small intestine is about 22 feet long and breaks down your food even more so your body can absorb all the vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats from it.

The nutrient-rich blood then goes to the liver to be processed and stored while the remainder of your food passes into the large intestine.

Large Intestines- The job of the large intestine is to absorb water and electrolytes, as well as forming and propelling feces to the very last stop. Drum roll please – your rectum.

Rectum – Yep, all that leftover food that isn’t used has to go somewhere, it hangs out here until you are ready to go to the bathroom and then it gets pushed out.

Finally, look at this fun and easy digestive system craft activity.

Digestive System Craft – The Stomach

Before you begin, you will obviously want to explain that this is just one part of your digestive system.

There are a couple of steps before and several steps after that help your food be processed by your body.

You Will Need:

  • Ziplock bag
  • Red permanent marker
  • Black permanent marker
  • ¼ cup of soda
  • Slice of bread
  • Rubbing alcohol
  • Dishcloth or paper towel
Basic Steps in the Digestive System and a Fun Digestive System Craft

Once you have gathered all your supplies you can remove the writing from your bag to make it completely see through.

Wet a towel with rubbing alcohol and rub it right off.

Basic Steps in the Digestive System and a Fun Digestive System Craft

You can use a book or google for reference and let your child draw a stomach on the bag in permanent marker.

Basic Steps in the Digestive System and a Fun Digestive System Craft

Have them label the stomach, as well as the tube for the esophagus and small intestine coming out of each end of the stomach.

Basic Steps in the Digestive System and a Fun Digestive System Craft

Tear up the bread into small pieces and set aside.

Basic Steps in the Digestive System and a Fun Digestive System Craft

Pour in a small amount of your soda. This will act as the stomach acids.

Basic Steps in the Digestive System and a Fun Digestive System Craft

Add the bread to the baggie.

You could also use crackers or cookies, just something soft that will break down easily with liquid.

Basic Steps in the Digestive System and a Fun Digestive System Craft

Press out most of the air and seal the bag.

Now for the fun, demonstrate by squeezing the bag how the acids and muscles work to break the food down.

Basic Steps in the Digestive System and a Fun Digestive System Craft

You will see it won’t take long and it is completely broken down (obviously this takes longer during actual digestion).

Basic Steps in the Digestive System and a Fun Digestive System Craft

You can stop here, and you have had a good quick lesson but if you want to add to it a little bit snip off one small corner.

Explain that while there is more to the digestive system than just what is shown on the bag this is what happens at the end when everything that was needed was taken out of the body by the digestive system.

 Let them squeeze the waste into a bowl, because after all everybody poops!

Swapping out worksheets and using human body activities middle school instead can make learning anatomy fun and memorable. Also, I have this Human Body Crafts page for more hands-on ideas. And this Beautiful Human Body Lapbook and Fun Unit Study.

With just a few simple craft products your middle schooler can create a human eye model and learn all about this remarkable complex organ.

Creating, putting it together, and labeling will help the lessons about eye anatomy stick.

8 Eye Facts & Human Body Activities Middle School & Fun Eye Model

You can make this a bit more advanced with more detail or simplify it to suit your child.

I was able to pick up all the supplies from Dollar Tree so it is quite inexpensive for this project as well.

Human Body Activities Middle School – 8 Facts About The Eye

  1. You see objects upside down, then your brain turns the image the right way up.
  2. While eyes always stay the same size your nose and ears continue growing throughout your life.
  3. The most common eye color in the world is brown, while green is the most rare with only 2% of the population having them.
  4. The human eye begins to develop just two weeks after conception.
  5. The cornea is the only tissue in the human body that doesn’t contain blood vessels.
  6. The largest eye you will find on earth belongs to the colossal squid and has an 11” diameter.
  7. Having two eyes is what gives us depth perception, when we can see an object from two angles it enables us to tell how far away it is.
  8. Babies’ eyes are not able to produce tears until they reach at least 6 weeks old because their tear ducts haven’t fully developed.
8 Eye Facts & Human Body Activities Middle School & Fun Eye Model

I think we can all agree that the eye is incredibly amazing in its design and performance. We use them all day to take in information and sometimes give information.

Learning about the Human Eye Vocabulary

  • Optic Nerve-Transmits electrical impulses from your eyes to your brain.
  • Sclera-(whites) Helps to maintain your eyeball’s shape and protects it from injury.
  • Iris- Controls the diameter and size of the pupil determining how much light reaches the retina.
  • Pupil- While the muscles of your iris change shape it lets light into your eyes.
  • Lacrimal Gland-Releases fluid that cleans and protects the eye’s surface as it lubricates and moistens it.
  • Rectus Muscle- Moves your eyes up, down, left, and right.

Finally, look at how to make this fun human eye model.

Human Body Activities Middle School Make An Eye Model

You will need:

  • 3”-4” Styrofoam ball
  • Markers or paint pens
  • Pink craft foam
  • White craft foam
  • Hot glue gun/sticks
  • White cardstock
  • toothpicks
8 Eye Facts & Human Body Activities Middle School & Fun Eye Model

First, use paint pens or markers to draw whatever color iris you want on the center of the styrofoam ball.

8 Eye Facts & Human Body Activities Middle School & Fun Eye Model

Once it is dry, add a black pupil and the little lines or striations known as the limbic rings in the iris.

8 Eye Facts & Human Body Activities Middle School & Fun Eye Model

Cut a piece of white craft foam about 4” long and roll it into a tight tube, secure it with hot glue, a good diameter is about ¾”. (Optic Nerve)

8 Eye Facts & Human Body Activities Middle School & Fun Eye Model

Next, you want to cut 4 rectangles that taper at one end out of the pink craft foam.

These should also be about 4” in length and a little less than 1” at the widest point. (Rectus Muscle)

8 Eye Facts & Human Body Activities Middle School & Fun Eye Model

Now make a small irregular circle around 1” in diameter. (Lacrimal Gland)

8 Eye Facts & Human Body Activities Middle School & Fun Eye Model

At this point you are ready to begin building your eye model. First, you want to hot glue to one end of the white rolled craft foam and hot glue it to the back directly opposite of the iris.

Hold in place until it has cooled.

8 Eye Facts & Human Body Activities Middle School & Fun Eye Model

Take the pink foam and glue them in place evenly around all 4 sides a little more than halfway back on the eye. 

Secure the opposite end by gluing it to the optic nerve (white foam roll).

8 Eye Facts & Human Body Activities Middle School & Fun Eye Model

Add some red lines on the white part of the eye (sclera) toward the back to the center for small blood vessels.

Glue the lacrimal gland in place towards the back/side.

8 Eye Facts & Human Body Activities Middle School & Fun Eye Model

This is the point when it is ready for labeling.

Have your child write down the following eye parts on small strips of paper- iris, optic nerve, lacrimal gland, sclera, pupil, rectus muscle.

Attach to toothpicks with glue.

8 Eye Facts & Human Body Activities Middle School & Fun Eye Model

Now they can be inserted into the craft foam as well as the styrofoam ball in the correct place.

While it will leave holes in the foam, it is still reusable to practice on later or even used by another child.

I’ve rounded up 12 human body games for middle school and high school that your teens will love to play.Also, I have this Human Body Crafts page for more hands-on ideas. And this Beautiful Human Body Lapbook and Fun Unit Study.

What I love about educational board games is that there is much value in them from critical thinking skills to problem solving and building memory skills.

Playing games is something that a child never outgrows, you just adjust the game or level.

From cooperative games to strategy games, there are plenty of choices for middle and high schoolers to learn about the human body from head to toe.

Though some of these are fun for the whole family and some younger children can be included in play, these are mostly to challenge your preteens and teens while studying the human body.

Also, look at these other human body crafts and resources below.

Human Body Games for Middle School

12 Human Body Games for Middle & High School Students

Middle and high school kids need a break from reading and playing games to learn science is the perfect supplement and break.

Cytosis: A Cell Biology Board Game | A Science Accurate Strategy Board Game

This game takes place inside of a human cell, you must race to build enzymes, hormones, and receptors and play with proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and DNA. It also comes with a fact-filled booklet that explains every concept in the game.

The Awkward Yeti Organ Attack! Card Game

If they enjoy doctor/human body games this one is ideal. It’s a fun and silly game that is great for kids to adults where the main objective is to remove your opponent’s organs before they can remove yours

Pandemic Board Game (Base Game) |

A cooperative board game using your characters' strengths and skills to stop diseases and epidemics before they go global. Everyone starts at the Atlanta Center for disease control and then builds research stations all over the world. What I love about this game is that it is a good source for discussion on pandemics, diseases, symptoms, immune systems, and more.

Anatomy Fluxx Card Game - Card Games for Kids and Adult

There are many versions of Fluxx available but this one is perfect for an anatomy unit study. It is a card game for 2-6 players and was designed by an ER doctor. It contains anatomical trivia, and twists, and makes a great way to learn about the different systems of the body.

Virulence: An Infectious Virus Card Game - Educational Bidding Game for Kids

 Fast-paced and solid way to learn about virus structure and viral components like helical, icosahedral, and genomes. In this game, players take on the role of the virus trying to infect a host cell rather than trying to eradicate the virus.

Outset Media Professor Noggin's Human Body Trivia Card Game

For ages 7+, with 3 levels of play this is another game that I think is still very applicable for younger teens and preteens to play. It incorporates trivia, true or false questions, as well as multiple choice.

Dr. Dreadful Scabs and Guts Board Game

This one says 6+ but I truly think that 6th and 7th graders will still enjoy it and be able to learn from it. It is a quick play with real anatomy science facts and images.

Biology Review Curriculum Mastery Game, High School, C

 A biology game perfect for high school review. It comes with 25 sets of 30 illustrated and self-correcting review cards for use, and 12 different game boards. While it covers all of biology beyond the human body I think, though expensive, it gives you a lot of bang for your buck.

Brain Busters Card Game - Human Body - with Over 150 Trivia Questions -

While this one seems a bit young, a teen that needs a refresher in things like what two muscles do we use in our arm when lifting and down will find this a fun review. It has 150 questions and covers a wide variety of human body topics, great for car rides or waiting in lines.

Capstone Games: Clinic Deluxe - Strategy Board Game,

I think this one would be a treat for the teen who plans to go into any direction in the medical field. It is a strategy game where you work to build your own clinic just the way you like it- caring for patients and maintaining staff while you expand.

Word Game | Fast-Paced Family Board Game | Choose a Category & Race Against The Timer

Next, this one is not medical or anatomy themed but I’m adding it because it is a base game that has an open-ended theme. The object is to pull a card that gives you a theme and then take turns calling out words in that theme that begin with each letter of the alphabet. When you call it you tap that letter down and it's out of play, continue until someone can't think of one. You can play this anatomy themed in general, bones, organs, body systems, etc.… We have played this game as a compliment to multiple unit study themes.

Netter's Anatomy Art Card Deck

Simply just an anatomy-themed deck of cards but a fantastic way to familiarize your student with the human body using illustrations from Netter’s Atlas of Human Anatomy. You can pick your favorite game like solitaire, garbage, or even 52 card pick up with this.

Finally, look at this amazing air dry clay hands-on heart model.

How to Make an Air-Dry Clay Hands-on Heart Model

I found this A Guide to Understand Human Heart with Heart Diagram here.

It is a good clear simple image of the heart. There is also a lot of great information here that can be used for your study as well.

How to Make a Human DIY Heart Model Easy Craft for Kids

You will need:

  • Air Dry Clay
  • Blue Gel Food Coloring
  • Red Gel Food Coloring
  • Rubber gloves
  • Heart diagram
How to Make a Human DIY Heart Model Easy Craft for Kids

First, pinch off a good-sized piece of air-dry clay.

Hands-on Heart Model

I used about ¾ of a pound. Work it with your hands for a few minutes to soften it and make it easier to mold.

Then, roll into two equal pieces, about the size of tennis balls is where I ended up.

How to Make a Human DIY Heart Model Easy Craft for Kids

Unless you don’t mind dyed hands for a few days I highly suggest you put on gloves before you begin the next step.

Add blue gel food coloring to one side and massage it in.

Take the next half and work in red gel food coloring.

Mold each piece into a cylinder-ish shape.

Pinch off a chunk of each and roll it into the various arteries, aortas, and valves that come off the right and left sides of the heart.

How to Make a Human DIY Heart Model Easy Craft for Kids

Take off more as you need to have all the main vena cava, inferior vena cava, pulmonary valve, artery, and vein, right and left ventricles, etc.

Use a craft stick to cut the valves off as if you were looking at a cross section.

How to Make a Human DIY Heart Model Easy Craft for Kids

Form your main left and right sides of the heart a bit more and press them together.

How to Make a Human DIY Heart Model Easy Craft for Kids

Add arteries and valves, etc. to the heart, gently smooth the clay together so that it sticks.

How to Make a Human DIY Heart Model Easy Craft for Kids

Be sure that each section is securely attached.

How to Make a Human DIY Heart Model Easy Craft for Kids

As we worked on the clay more and more the color became lighter and lighter, so we brushed on some gel coloring to deepen the color.

Use a paintbrush handle or pencil to gently indent where the right and left atrium would be.

How to Make a Human DIY Heart Model Easy Craft for Kids

Allow the heart to dry completely, it will probably take several days, flip it over every day so it can dry evenly.

You can also press it a little flatter while you are forming each part if you like for a quicker drying time.

Once the heart is dry and hardened you can then use it to have your child create labels for each area and place them in the correct spot.

Finally, look how to make this fun lung craft for kids.

The Respiratory System Lung Craft For Kids

8 Facts About the Respiratory System & Fun Lung Craft for Kids

You will need:

  • 2 brown paper bags
  • 2 straws
  • tape
  • Black marker
  • Red marker
8 Facts About the Respiratory System & Fun Lung Craft for Kids

Start by having your child use a black marker to draw the bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli on each paper bag.

It doesn’t have to be perfect, you just want them to cover each of the different parts of the lung.

8 Facts About the Respiratory System & Fun Lung Craft for Kids

Next, have them use a red marker to label each of these parts as well as the right and left lung to reinforce what they are learning.

8 Facts About the Respiratory System & Fun Lung Craft for Kids

Slip a straw several inches down into one bag, bunch it closed, and tape it closed tightly around the straw. You want to be sure it is sealed so the air doesn’t leak out.

8 Facts About the Respiratory System & Fun Lung Craft for Kids

Repeat on the other side.

Hold the straws close together and wrap the tape around them to form the trachea(windpipe).

Now they can label the trachea by writing it on the tape.

8 Facts About the Respiratory System & Fun Lung Craft for Kids

The lungs are ready to use. To demonstrate how lungs inflate and deflate your child will hold the straws in their mouth and inhale and exhale.

You will want to explain that the paper lungs are doing the opposite of what the lungs inside of them are doing as they are exhaling to fill them and inhaling to retract.
