Cognitive Development
- The 1-year-old student is able to recognize and name basic body parts like 'head', 'nose', and 'eyes' from the flashcards.
- The activity helps in improving the child's memory as they point to the correct body part when prompted.

Tips
For continued development after the activity, engage the child in interactive games such as 'Simon Says' using body part commands. Encourage further learning by singing songs like 'Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes' to reinforce body part recognition. Additionally, incorporate sensory play by using textured materials to create a tactile experience when exploring body parts.
