How it works
- 1~20s
Start with the easy ones! Point to your own nose and say 'This is my nose! Where is YOUR nose?' Then try tummy, hands, and feet the same way. Does your child point to the right body parts?

Now try some harder ones — 'Where are your ears?' 'Where's your hair?' 'Can you show me your eyes?' These are trickier because they're less visible to your child. How does they do?

- 3~15s
Fun twist — point to YOUR nose and ask your child: 'Where's Mama's nose?' or 'Where's Daddy's nose?' Can your child identify body parts on someone else? This is actually harder because it requires understanding that the word applies to ALL noses, not just theirs.

One last thing — when you point to a body part and name it, does your child try to say the word? Even an attempt like 'no' for 'nose' or 'ha' for 'hair' counts! What sounds come out?
