Body Tracing
This is an activity that can take
up all the free time in the day if it is done well. You need to have lots
of markers, crayons and coloured pencils (you may want to add spare
material, streamers and straws for 3-D effect) and a piece of butcher’s
paper or poster board as big as your child.
- Have your child lay down
carefully on the paper
- Strike a pose
- Take a black marker and trace
their outline
When they get up,
there is an outline of themselves to colour and decorate in whatever clothes
they want! Fill in the face and create a background for a better scene.
Give them lots of time and space on the hard floor. Maybe they can finish
up the specifics after you have hung it on a wall! Do it every couple of
years to let your child see how quickly they grow! |
