Body Drawing

Life size drawings were always a favorite with my children. When they were younger, they drew in "their faces" and designed their clothing. When they were in the fifth and seventy grade and studying the human body during home school, I had them draw in their skeleton (using an encyclopedia for reference). It was also a great school project to do around Halloween.

Materials Needed:
Butcher paper
Assorted colors or felt tip pens
Scissors

Directions:
1. Lay child on paper and trace body with crayon or pen.
2. Let child color in his or her shadow, or draw in skeleton or internal body organs (using an encyclopedia for reference).
3. Cut out the figure.
