A little poem for young ones to learn,
About their body parts, they'll surely yearn!
From the top of the head, to the tips of the toes,
Let's name all the parts, and what each one knows!
First up, we have the head, with hair on top,
It holds our brain, and never will stop.
Then we have two arms, with hands at the end,
With fingers so nimble, they're our best friend.
Next, we have a body, strong and tall,
It helps us stand up, and have a ball!
With a nose in the middle, that can smell so well,
And a mouth that can eat, and talk, can't you tell?
Our face is the front, with eyes that can see,
And ears that can hear, the world and me.
So there you have it, our body so fine,
With all these parts working, we'll always shine!
Talk about it
