Welcome to Smart Bodies! Take a look at what Smart Bodies has to offer you and your class!

They include such characters as Hardy Heart, Luigi Liver, Peter Pancreas, Madame Muscle and Calci M. Bone. The “characters” reside in a larger doll called Little Organ Annie or Little Organ Andy. The OrganWise Guys are featured in both the Body Walk and the Wisercise curriculum. Each participating school will receive a free healthy school kit.
