Me and My Shadow
You will need a large amount of butcher paper and packages of “dot stickers” for
this activity.
One at a time, have the children lie down on a large piece of butcher paper.
Draw an outline of the child with a marker. Draw a face, ears, and hair with
markers or crayons. Choose colors that match the child’s features.
Let each child point to and name as many body parts as they can such as eyes,
nose, mouth, ears, hair, arms, legs, elbows, and knees. Let them put a sticker on
each body part as they name it.
Ask the children to tell you their name and whether they are a boy or girl and
write it on their outline.
Hang them for all to see!
Language Tip
Ask a child to name some of the body parts in his home
language.
The Brush Off
Set up some washable paints in individual containers.
Collect a few different kinds of brushes that can be used for painting such as
different sized paint brushes, kitchen basting brushes, vegetable, or nail brushes.
Have more than one of each kind.
Set up an easel or put large paper on a table and let the children choose which
brushes they would like to use to paint a picture. (use paint shirts or smocks)
Some children may prefer one type of brush, and others will enjoy trying several.
See how the different brushes make the paint look!
