Books about the body for 4-year-olds start to introduce children to the five senses. Children can learn how sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell help them experience and understand the world around them.
Families and educators can use books about the body with 4-year-olds to introduce discussions about growth, the senses and how different body parts work together. These books can also help answer questions that naturally arise as children become more curious about themselves.
Books about the body are engaging for 4-year-olds because they focus on something children experience every day. Many enjoy learning how their senses work, why their bodies move the way they do and what happens as they grow.
These books work especially well when children are asking questions about their bodies, noticing physical changes or exploring topics related to movement, health and development.
