Silly Faces

Jan 17, 2012 - 11:52 PM
Silly Faces

This fun project is a great way to talk to your children about how they are unique and special. There is no one else like you who has the same eyes, ears, nose or finger print, and this project helps demonstrate how each face is unique. A great project even for young kids!

Supplies:

  • Mouths, noses, eyes and ears cut out from magazines.
  • Sheets of paper
  • glue
  • scissors
  • crayons or markers

Directions:

  • Cut out different facial features from magazines and sort them into piles.
  • Have the children arrange the facial features and glue them on to pieces of paper
  • Use crayons or markers to make a body, add other features, or draw a picture around the face.
  • Have fun creating and making funny faces of different sizes and shapes together.

Oh man have I got a lot of magazines that I can use for this project!!! Piles and piles of them. I even have some old magazines that I got my grandmothers upstairs storage room. Those could be really interesting to use. I bet that would make a really great "silly" face. Oh I know something that would be fun as well. Print out a picture of your kid and let them affix the face parts onto that picture. that could be a lot of fun.
Yet another great idea from Creative Parenting. I do believe I am going to have to share this page with all my friends with children. They will love it so much.
