At age 3, children can begin learning about the many things their bodies can do. These books introduce movement and physical abilities through familiar activities such as running, jumping, clapping and dancing.
Books about the body are a good fit for 3-year-olds because children at this age are becoming more aware of themselves and how their bodies work. These books help answer simple questions while building understanding of body parts, movement and physical development.
3-year-olds can learn about body parts, the five senses, movement and basic body functions. Many books help children connect what they experience every day to simple explanations about how their bodies work.
Families and educators can use books about the body with 3-year-olds to support conversations about growth, movement and self-awareness. They also pair well with activities that encourage children to identify body parts, explore their senses or learn about physical differences.
