At 18-months, your toddler will have a very basic understanding of anatomy. She’ll be able to identify her nose, eyes, ears, and other easy to say and see body parts. You’ve probably spent countless hours helping her learn the names of body parts by pointing them out on your face and on her stuffed animals, but now she’ll be able to name her own body parts (in the simplest terms.) At this stage in her life, your toddler will be able to recognize not just her facial features, but objects around the house (like her toys) as well as objects in picture books, but more on that later.
