So, we embarked on the human body system journey with smarties. Before we jump straight into hands-on work, let’s get to know about our human body system first through books.
Teaching kids of different age at the same time may sound tough but that is all possible. Kids at different age group understand things differently, therefore we need to find books that are suitable for them. Let’s take a look at books that are suitable for preschoolers and elementary kids.
