Life Size Paper Doll

ages 3-6

Supplies

Big piece of butcher paper, scissors, Sharpie pen, paint and/or markers, construction paper, wrapping paper, any other fun paper, glue.

Activity Detail

Take a long piece of butcher paper and have your child lie down on top of it (his or her entire body needs to fit within the edges with a good margin around the sides). Trace around your child's body with a Sharpie. When your child stands up, you will have an outline that you and your child can dress and decorate however you wish. My daughter and I drew her face; cut out her hair and shoes from construction paper; and cut out her dress from wrapping paper. My daugher then decorated the rest -- jewelry, socks, even a bow for her hair. She and I created a representation of what she looked like at that age, but you can do whatever you and your child wish! The best part is that you have a nice keepsake and your child has a cool poster for her wall.
