Hey there, Adventurers! Dr. Bonyfide here. A few Know Yourself-ers asked me some great questions about the Five Senses that I thought all of you might like to know about! Remember, if your children have their own science and anatomy questions, you can always ask Dr. Bonyfide - I’ll be answering a few every week! 

Everyone knows about the Five Senses - sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell - but not everyone knows about a special ‘sixth sense’ that helps us experience the world. Proprioception is an internal sense that helps our brain learn where our body is and how we move. Proprioceptive nerve endings in our body provide us with information on where our hands, arms and legs are in space without having to look for them! If you close your eyes and raise your arm over your head, your brain knows your arm is over your head, without having to look in a mirror.

Learning about the skeletal system should be fun. There should be games and activities that keep a child interested.

Dr. Bonyfide Presents Bones - Set of 4 creatively engages your child as they learn the skeletal structures of the human body utlilizing a variety of rhymes, activities, comics, and various other fun tools.

So is there a doctor in our house?  At the rate we are going, there might be one soon!  Colby LOVES all things human body.
