Hi everyone! I’m gearing up for science this year and have a fun printable to share with you today! It’s a Human Body Anatomy Puzzle and life size organs!
We’re going to work on the Human Body a little bit this year, so I created a human body skeleton and organs puzzle along with some life size organs that you can use with a simple outline tracing of your students body!
Here is a sample of the puzzle, I used a Xyron 900 9″ Creative Station with the Magnetic/Laminate insert to make my puzzle magnetic. But you can also just simply laminate for durability.

The puzzle is about 2 feet tall, and includes the skeleton pieces, all of the major organs, and word labels. Here is a closer view of the puzzle so you can see the labels, and pieces. There is also teacher’s manual for this part that includes the body organ functions along with a guide for proper organ placement.
For fun I also created printable color and black and white organ printables. Use a piece of butcher paper to trace your student, then have them put the organ pieces on their body outline. The pieces have flaps on them, so you can glue them on, then flip them up to reveal what the major function of that organ is.
Here is our finished girl, and the proud designers.
They even went so far as to make a shirt and shorts for her. There is a brain printable for the model, but the girls though it messed up her face, so they refused to add it!
I hope you enjoy using the Human Body Anatomy Puzzle to help teach your students all about the human body!
my son would love this, he has been obsessed with body parts since he was about three.
Thank you for sharing xx
I finally let go of my “everything needs to be 8.5x 11” standard last year. (with 5 kids, saving projects can become a nightmare.) we did a body book last year and had a printout like this one, plus all the organ systems. The boys loved it!
Thanks for sharing. Resources like this one are priceless:)
I’m doing going to use as a review from last year’s study of the human body. That’s if I can find paper big enough for drawing the shape of the body. Thanks.
I love this! My kids (ages 4 and 5) are really into learning about the human body right now. We have a small skeletal and organ foam puzzle I have been using to help our lessons but being able to add in the word recognition all in one place is awesome. Thank you!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing this, we will be studying the human body later on this year!
I was just getting ready to cut all of these pieces out of felt and make a felt body. Man, thank you for saving me. 🙂 This is great!!
Thanks, Erica! Looking forward to incorporating this somehow this year. 🙂
Even though my boys are young (4 and 1), I’ve read your blog for years, although I’ve never commented. Today is different, though. Thank you so much for these printables. Our one year old was born with complex heart defects (basically half a heart), and he’s had multiple open heart surgeries and hospitalizations. Explaining things to our four year old in an age-appropriate way is challenging. We have many books about the human body, and your printables complement them well. I laminated the puzzle pieces, and then James cut out the large organs and used his books to determine where to tape the organs on his shirt or hat. Talking about each organ led to age-appropriate conversations about his brother’s heart defects, digestive issues, and brain injury. I think many homeschooled families will find these printables useful, but I wanted to let you know that they serve an important purpose in my family, too. Thanks!
This is perfect, thank you! I’m just in the middle of planning out a human body unit for one of my kids.
Speaking of which, I can’t believe how grown up your daughter is looking this year! Wow!
Very well, the girls!!! it’s magnifique!!
Thanks for all your great ideas!!
