Continued Weekly Activity
Baby Portraits:
Have your child look at a picture from when they were babies. Invite them to look at the pictures and draw or paint a picture of themselves as a baby. As children observe and consider their pictures, engage them in discussion about the details they notice in the pictures. What has changed about the way they look now compared to when they were babies? Why? What did their hair look like? Their eyes? Did they have chubby cheeks? Etc. Children who are ready can add words to their portraits. Please email a picture of any completed work to MsMcGarryCOVID19@gmail.com !
