Life-Sized Me

What to do:

  1. Use butcher paper or poster board.
  2. Place the paper on the floor and have children lay down flat on it.
  3. Trace around the child.
  4. Cut the shape out and ask the child to decorate to match what they are wearing that day, or what they would like to wear as if it was summer, winter, or a special day in their lives.
