I got this idea from an exhibit at our local children's museum (where I had a ton of fun doing this).
First, I printed some photos I have of Mini Me. I did 5x7 but you could also do an 8x10.
I taped the photos to the window and then taped a sheet of thin drawing paper on top of it.
Mini Me chose his marker color and started to trace. He concentrated very hard.
He got frustrated when he got to the facial features so I helped him a little. Here is our finished product.
Hilarious! And so fun!
....but Mini Me was still reeling from frustration about tracing his face, so I thought the activity was done. I started coloring with Little Lady and he must have still felt intrigued by tracing his picture. I saw this.
He announced that he wanted to draw his face again. We tried a different window - more toward the sun which was helpful but it was just
so bright, Mommy!
We thought the cowboy hat would help. But it didn't. We needed a different hat.
Four hats later, here is what we got. (
sorry.... won't let me fix the orientation)
This was a great activity that is on our repeatedly-requested list!
