teaching parts of the body

DS2 can point to body parts on himself and we are about to start teaching him to identify them on others or on a picture. I'm looking for a teaching resource for this: my idea was a large picture of a person with removable velcro parts. I've got a puzzle, but it only has head,body, arms and legs - I'm looking for something that covers eyes, ears, mouth, hair, fingers, toes etc. Just having a large picture wouldn't work as well, as DS2 still doesn't point with great accuracy. It would be better if I could say
'give me arm' iyswim.

Has anyone seen anything like this in an SEN catalogue or elsewhere? Don't suggest making one - my drawing is crap .
Thanks all - have tried googling with no success.

Yep Yurt, it def is that - he just hears the word he knows and ignores the rest! We've had a bit more success with Mr PH today though - and I got your pics, so thanks v much!

Haven't heard of Flash Davros, but will look up in my Diff Roads catalogue.

I think the rest will come with better receptive language in general. DS1 defintely went from one keyword to eventually processing sentences correctly most of the time. As well as doing the my/your etc thing I'd also just concentrate on 2 key words so he gets used to listening/processing/understanding longer sentences.

BTW I think fast trials and that whole steven thing of give an instruction once really helped with this as well.
