Major Organs of The Human Body Labeled Fun Felt Anatomy Activity

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

I have a fun felt anatomy activity which is major organs of the human body labeled. Also, I have this Human Body Crafts page for more hands-on ideas. And this Beautiful Human Body Lapbook and Fun Unit Study.

This activity makes your anatomy lessons reusable and self-correcting.

In total there are seventy-eight main organs within the human body.

Major Organs of The Human Body Labeled Fun Felt Anatomy Activity

While there are many organs that are important for the body to function well there are 5 major organs in the human body that are considered vital for survival.

About the Major Organs of the Body

They are the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, and liver. 

Skin is also a major (and the largest) organ that happens to be on the outside of your body.

Other important organs that you might include are the spleen, stomach, small and large intestines, bladder, and gallbladder.

The trachea is not considered an organ on its own, rather it is part of the breathing system, connected to the lungs.

You can incorporate as many or as few of these organs in your own felt body as you like.

Next, look at some of these resources for learning about the human body.

Finally, look at this fun felt anatomy activity.

Felt Anatomy Activity – Major Organs of The Human Body Labeled

The felt is sturdy and will hold up for a semester or years to come so that you can continue to add to it or use it in different ways.

I like that this is a self-correcting activity.

Your child can place everything where they think it goes and then check it against a diagram and correct anything that might need it. Much more fun than a boring old worksheet don’t you think?

Even if you do not consider yourself an artist or crafty you can make this or help your child make it! I am going to walk you through easy peasy steps.

Major Organs of The Human Body Labeled Fun Felt Anatomy Activity

You will need:

  • Tan felt
  • 6-8 additional felt colors
  • Scissors
  • Cardstock
  • Pen or marker
Major Organs of The Human Body Labeled Fun Felt Anatomy Activity

First, start by just drawing the top half of a stick figure using a pencil onto your tan felt.

I started with a really large piece of felt (12×18) for the body to make sure I had enough room for the organs.

Major Organs of The Human Body Labeled

And I cut mine so that the body was almost 15” long but you can make yours larger or smaller.

Major Organs of The Human Body Labeled Fun Felt Anatomy Activity

Once you are happy with your stick figure, you can fill the body out more, rounding out the head and making wider outlines for the arms, neck, and torso.

Don’t worry about any misdrawn lines, this is going to be the back.

Major Organs of The Human Body Labeled Fun Felt Anatomy Activity

Cut out the body.

Major Organs of The Human Body Labeled Fun Felt Anatomy Activity

Now find a diagram with the major organs or whatever body system you want to make and cut your organs out of different colors or shades of felt.

You just need to imitate the general outline.

I did not worry too much about proportions, depending on the age of your child and your skill level you may or may not want to require more precise dimensions.

You may estimate the sizes and then trim down each one to be sure it fits in the body you made.

Major Organs of The Human Body Labeled Fun Felt Anatomy Activity

Add additional organs beyond the major ones if you like.

Major Organs of The Human Body Labeled Fun Felt Anatomy Activity

Place your body outline on a large tray.

Major Organs of The Human Body Labeled Fun Felt Anatomy Activity

Have your child begin layering on the organs in the correct place using google or your favorite reference book.

Major Organs of The Human Body Labeled Fun Felt Anatomy Activity

Type up the names of each organ, or better yet have your child do it to practice typing, formatting, and to familiarize them with the names.

Major Organs of The Human Body Labeled Fun Felt Anatomy Activity

Cut out each one in a small strip to use for labeling.

Now they can begin adding labels to the correct spots.

Put everything into a ziplock baggie to keep and use at a later date.

Fun Resources and Books About The Human Body For Preschoolers

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

I have gathered up some resources and books about the human body for preschoolers. Also, I have this Human Body Crafts page for more hands-on ideas. And this Beautiful Human Body Lapbook and Fun Unit Study.

One of the most fun and basic science topics to cover with your preschooler is anatomy.

When teaching this age, it is a good practice to include lots of hands-on activities.

Fun Resources and Books About The Human Body For Preschoolers

It can be so much fun for both of you.

Puzzles, games, colorful books, videos, and your preschoolers own natural curiosity can teach them so much better than an expensive boxed curriculum.

Teaching Preschoolers About Human Anatomy

When your child is a toddler, they are quickly learning about body parts like toes, eyes, belly, etc.

They are soaking in information and learning at an incredible rate, and this continues through those preschool years when they learn so much through play.

At this point, it is a great time to move into learning about our senses, organs, how our skeleton works, and more.

They can learn a lot through imaginative play- like setting up a simple doctors’ center with good books for them to examine along with pretend tools, engaging videos, and simple crafts and activities.

Fall Leaf Crafts for Preschoolers- Felt Leaf Sachet

You will need:

  • Felt- fall leaf colors
  • Embroidery floss
  • Large eye needle
  • scissors
  • Cotton stuffing
  • Essential oil
Make Cute Felt Leaf Sachets For Fall Leaf Crafts for Preschoolers

You may wish to also purchase a thimble to help protect their little fingers.

First, cut your felt into smaller squares, slightly larger than the size of the leaf you would like your child to sew up.

You will need 2 pieces for each leaf. I have linked some precut squares above that are great for this.

Make Cute Felt Leaf Sachets For Fall Leaf Crafts for Preschoolers

Holding both pieces together, draw a leaf shape with a permanent marker or free hand, and cut out both leaf shapes at the same time so they are perfectly matched.

You can of course make these any size and shape.

Fall Leaf Crafts for Preschoolers

I recommend starting small, like no larger than 4”, and with a very basic oblong, or oval shape.

The more complicated shapes with lots of turns may frustrate those little beginning hands, save those for once they improve their basic stitches.

Make Cute Felt Leaf Sachets For Fall Leaf Crafts for Preschoolers

Thread a long piece of embroidery floss onto the needle and knot the ends together.

And double knot over the top of the first to make it larger so it won’t pull through the felt.

Make Cute Felt Leaf Sachets For Fall Leaf Crafts for Preschoolers

You can choose thread that matches or contrasts, I love the contrast of thread against a different color felt.

Hold both leaf pieces together and show your child how to press the needle carefully through one side and out the other, pulling the thread all the way taut but not so tight that it gathers up the felt.

Have them continue around ¾ of the way.

Make Cute Felt Leaf Sachets For Fall Leaf Crafts for Preschoolers

Stuff with a little cotton filling.

Make Cute Felt Leaf Sachets For Fall Leaf Crafts for Preschoolers

Use a pencil to fill corners and any longer skinny sections.

Make Cute Felt Leaf Sachets For Fall Leaf Crafts for Preschoolers

Continue sewing the rest of the way around, knot the end close to the felt, and then cut off any excess threads.

Make Cute Felt Leaf Sachets For Fall Leaf Crafts for Preschoolers

Once finished you can scent it by adding a few drops of essential oils to the felt and refresh it as needed.

These felt fall leaf sachets are wonderful used for dramatic play or displayed around the house.

They can even be attached to some twine to create a lovely handmade swag for the mantle or bookshelf.

Then the perfect hands-on activity to go along with your corn life cycle preschool printable is a fun corn-themed sensory bin that they can dig into.

Items We Get From Corn

We get a lot of products that we use every day from corn.

This is a great time to talk about that with your child while they color in their fold-out or dig into the sensory bin.

Fun Corn Life Cycle Preschool Sensory Bin and Printable Lifecycle Foldout

To get you started here is a list of some of the things that corn makes:

  • Corn on the Cob
  • Canned Corn
  • Corn meal

These are great to have out while your child explores the sensory bin.

  • Food Anatomy is even great for preschoolers with its pretty illustrations and small snippets of information that will keep them interested

  • Make popcorn to enjoy together for a healthy and delicious snack that ties right into the lesson.
  • To incorporate some early math skills you can also add a die to the corn sensory bin to have your child roll a number and count out the coordinating amount of corn kernels.
  • Add 2 for older children and they can practice addition and subtraction using the kernels as a manipulative.
Fun Corn Life Cycle Preschool Sensory Bin and Printable Lifecycle Foldout
  • Explore different corn products with your child, placing some items from the list above for your child to look at and investigate.

Fun Corn Life Cycle Preschool Sensory Bin and Printable Lifecycle Foldout

Finally, look at some ideas for corn preschool sensory bin.

Corn Life Cycle Preschool Sensory Bin

For the sensory bin you will need:

  • A shallow container, preferably with a lid
  • Whole feed corn
  • Spoons and scoops
  • Small containers
  • Corn toys

Start by pouring corn into your shallow container a couple of inches deep,

 I found this perfect-sized container at my dollar tree. You can even use a baking pan or sheet to hold your sensory bin materials.

You can find whole-feed corn at your local feed store (Tractor Supply, Rural King, and even Walmart).

If you can’t find it you can use popcorn or cracked corn that is sold for feeding birds in its place.

Fun Corn Life Cycle Preschool Sensory Bin and Printable Lifecycle Foldout

Add a few scoops and spoons, as well as a container or two for filling and pouring for fine motor development and hand-eye coordination-important prewriting skills.

Fun Corn Life Cycle Preschool Sensory Bin and Printable Lifecycle Foldout

If you have a preschooler chances are that you have some pretend food in their toys, chances are also good that there is some corn in the mix.

Grab it and add it to the sensory bin, you can also get real corn shucked and unshucked but if you have a child who is very sensory and likes to taste everything you might want to skip using real corn.

We had several plastic corns on the cobs as well as a pretend can of corn and a corn from this Safari Fruits and Vegetables Toob .

Add flashcards or small photos of corn, I did a quick watercolor to put in our sensory bin.

Fun Corn Life Cycle Preschool Sensory Bin and Printable Lifecycle Foldout

You can also add letters to spell out corn using Scrabble tiles or letter beads to help your child with word and beginning letter recognition.

Finally, pop in your corn life cycle printable.

Set your bin up, you may want to put a sheet or shower curtain liner underneath to catch the mess for an easy cleanup.

Simple fun activities are the way to go with toddlers, identifying and sorting colors is an important early math skill.

As children get older, they can have more ownership in their egg carton crafts by choosing them, cutting, and coming up with their own ideas.

Egg cartons make a great art supply item in either styrofoam or cardboard as they are a free resource and have so many great uses, especially for young children.

You will need:

  • Cardboard Egg Carton
  • 12 different colored craft paints
  • Paintbrushes

First, be sure that you are starting with a clean carton, free of dried egg. If you want to sanitize it you can spritz it lightly with a spray sanitizer.

Choose your 12 colors.

I like to use rainbow colors and then add white, black, brown, light blue, and light green.

If it is fall you might change up your colors a bit to more oranges, browns, and yellows.

Add a squirt of paint to the bottom of each egg cup.

Let your child spread the color around in the bottom of each cup, using a clean paintbrush for each one.

Allow the paint to dry completely, this might take a few hours, if you wipe out the excess paint you can speed up the process a bit.

If you want to start with a smaller goal for your child, you can cut your egg carton in half or just paint 2 cups each color instead of just 1.

If you like you can add the name of the “game” to the top with a permanent marker.

Let your little one fill each cup with matching colors- flowers, rocks, leaves, bark, eggshells, or whatever they can find.
