As we all know occasionally the weather can prevent us from doing any activities outside the house and today is that occasion for us. It is a rainy, windy day and I decided to stay in with my little one. In order to keep the little busy bee busy, I came up with a fun, creative, and educational activity. So, lets begin our fun and creative activity.
Before we start you’ll be needing:
Your child (LOL)
Crayons
Large Piece of Paper
Scotch Tape
Scissor
Construction Paper
Place to hang your Wall Art
Don’t forget your Happy Face 🙂
Find an area you want to work. Place a large piece of paper on the floor and ask your little one to lie down flat on that paper. Then you start tracing your little one. Let her trace you as well. She traced me, but since it was just the two of us, there was no one else to capture the moment on camera. LOL.
Once, she has been traced on the large paper, she wanted to trace over her own outline. My “Sophia” wanted to draw the mouth first, as you can see from the picture. She drew the entire face.
Then, we end up coloring the entire outline “Red”.
Don’t forget to let them write their names, every art work needs some kind of name recognition.
If you have a favorite picture of your little one, you can place it on the head area, to give it more of a personality. They will love it, but in the end my little one, wanted to see her own art work.
Cut out and place the outline of your little one aside. Get your construction paper and write down the body parts of your little one’s outline. Once it is completed, attach scotch tape on each word. Ask them where they want to hang their own body outline.
My little one selected the wall in her bedroom. Attach the outline on the wall with the help of your little one. Read the words out loud and see where they want to place it. If they need assistance, guide them through the process.
Once, all the words are placed in order, ask them to point out the words and to say them out loud. Now, we have created a “Trace Me” Wall Art. Not only is this project fun, creative and educational but it is also their own wall art. They will love it and treasure it forever!
Enjoy and let me know if you have done it. Love to read all your lovely comments.
Sincerely,

Great project! Following back from MBC! Thanks so much for stopping in at Baba's!
Wow, I never thought about adding the words to identify body parts!
Very cool.
I'll have to do that with my grandson when he's a little older!
My kids have done the body tracing before, but I love your idea of putting names of body parts on it!! Great learning ideas.
