Your body is made of organs working together. Here are eight of the most important ones and what they do.
The brain is the control center of your body. It lets you think, feel, move, and remember. Everything you do starts here.
The heart is a muscle that pumps blood around your body, all day and all night. It sends oxygen and nutrients to every cell.
Your lungs bring in fresh air when you breathe in, and push out used air when you breathe out. They give your blood the oxygen it needs.
The intestine is a long, winding tube where food is broken down and nutrients are absorbed into your body. It starts at your stomach and keeps going.
The liver cleans your blood, stores energy, and helps your body digest food. It does hundreds of jobs to keep everything balanced.
You have two kidneys, and they filter your blood to remove waste. They also help control how much water stays in your body.
Skin is your body's biggest organ. It protects everything inside, keeps you warm, and lets you feel the world through touch.
Bones give your body its shape and protect the soft organs inside. They also make new blood cells deep in the marrow.
Prop a card up during tummy time, about 20–30 cm from your baby's face. Hold the card steady and let your baby focus on the bold shapes. Try placing one at eye level wherever your baby spends time, and rotate cards every few days to keep things fresh.
Start with just 3 or 4 pairs, face up. Ask your child to find the two that look the same. As they get the hang of it, add more pairs. Older toddlers can try turning them face down for a memory game.
