A fun heart activity is to blow up a red balloon (for children without latex allergies) or use rolled up red socks and have your child squeeze or push on the object to pump the heart. Use youtube to play the song 'Staying Alive' by the Bee Gees

A fun lung activity is to use a paper towel roll with a plastic bag at one end attached by a rubber band. Place it over the mouth and see the bag inflate and deflate.

A fun intestines activity is to cut an old tube sock or pantyhose legging so that both ends are open, place an object into one end of the sock so that the lining of the sock holds the object. Have your child squeeze the object through the sock to the other end.
