The Color of Me!

Materials: White paper or colored construction paper that would match your childs eyes, hair and lips, magazines, scissors, glue, crayons or markers

Activity: Either cut 3 squares/rectangles out of white paper and have your child color them the same color as their hair, eyes and lips or cut the squares out of those colors of construction paper. For older children, you can have them look through the magazines for photos that match the colors of the papers or for younger children you can have pictures already cut out and they can sort them out and match them to the correct color. For older children you could also use bigger sheets of paper as they will more than likely enjoy the cutting/gluing process more than toddlers.

Paper Plate Face

Materials: Paper plate, flesh tone crayon, marker or paint, construction paper for your child's hair (or white paper they can color the correct color), wiggle eyes, markers, glue

Activity: First, color (or paint) your paper plate. Next, cut out the inner circle of the plate and cut 2 ears from the rim which you are cutting away. Have your child glue the ears. Next, add your details of your face using markers, wiggle eyes and construction paper.
