drawing by Marcus, age 7
As spring quickly approaches, sneezing season is upon us. Gesundheit! But are those sneezes an allergic response to pollens in the air or a sign of a lingering winter flu virus?
No matter the season, the immune system is always hard at work defending the body against common illnesses and infectious diseases to keep us healthy.
Grab a box of crayons and download this activity to draw the different parts of your body that work together to keep you strong and healthy.
You need:
