Body Outlines

Getting Started

• Lay the paper down somewhere smooth and dry. Get one of the children to lie down on the paper and you all then trace his or her outline.
• When they get up you should have the perfect outline of the child.
• Now get colouring!!!

Tips:

If you’re confined for space or you can’t organise a big piece of paper, you can just do hands or feet. Alternatively, you can trace around other objects. But, as Boxie says, you can’t beat colouring in a full-sized person!

Suggestions:

If you can’t find a big piece, try taping pieces together until you have a piece of paper bigger than the children! If you are using tape, try to keep it to the side you won’t be drawing on.

Remember:

Decide beforehand, are you doing a different drawing with each child? Or are you all colouring in the one picture.
