Biology is one of the hardest subjects in school. If your child is struggling to learn all the terminology and important facts, there’s a way to help. We’ve put together some anatomical toy models for you. They are realistic and reproduce the shape and structure of real human organs. Plus, they’re not so scary when they’re plus, so your child will have an easier time learning the organs and their names. Another idea is to use these free crochet body parts patterns for making gifts for your friends – doctors and biologists. Give it a try!
Take a look at the examples below and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.

2. Anatomical Lungs
These realistic crocheted lungs are far better than any model in the classroom. They’re just as anatomically correct, but much funnier and more pleasant to touch. It may not be for play or everyday use, but it’s nice to show your child the structure of the human lungs without scaring them. The project is made in pieces and then sewn together.
