Language Development: Body Part Cards
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
Body Part Cards show children showing thirty two parts of the body. Uncluttered backgrounds enhance understanding for children with cognitive delays. The Body Part Cards used together with a full length mirror can be used to help children develop a strong body self image.

PLAY Tip
Sensory Integration Ideas
Kinesthetic awareness is an important part of healthy sensory integration. Challenge your child to use the sense of touch only and identify different objects with the What Is It? Tactile Discrimination Game. Try dividing the objects by theme. Good examples are: objects from nature, dishes and cutlery, or grooming aids. To make the game easier, try offering fewer choices and supply a picture of the objects under the cover. Can your child tell the toothbrush from the hairbrush?
