I am Special Craft

My son is working on the "I Am Special" theme this month. When I taught school, my favorite craft for making each child feel special is making a life size drawing. Using white butcher paper or banner paper, have you child lie down on top of the paper and trace his shape. Then, working together, add the hair color, facial features, clothes the child is wearing that day, shoes, and socks (if they are wearing socks!). Cut this out and hang it on a wall some where. This will be a life sized version since you trace your child. And if you child does most of the art work, they can be proud that they made it. You can also be fancy and use fabric for the clothes, yarn for the hair, or just use crayons.
