Making: Paper People
Gee. I have so many ‘Activity for Kids idea‘ posts waiting to be shared. Errr, as well as recent Jakarta trip posts, and Batam trip posts, and …
Not sure if I’d ever get to share them all.
Ah anyway.
Here’s one simple idea I’d like to share with you today.
It was when we made paper people.
What we did:
– On a piece of paper, I drew a circle (using a bottle lid), and two straight lines downwards for the body (see picture above)
– I cut out a few of these
– I let the kids draw the faces and the clothes.
The fun part is, they get to draw ANY kind of face and clothes they wish!
Like for example, below is Anya’s version of a princess, and … Vai’s version of Daddy Wilson!
While giggling away, he said, ‘Daddy has shark teeth!’
Notes:
– You could introduce different cultures using this idea, ie. their traditional costumes, or different hair colour and facial features to teach little ones different kinds of people in the world
– In the end, you can hang / stick these different Paper People on the wall and create a ‘village’
