  • Tape
  • Large sheet of paper
  • Washable markers, crayons, or coloured pencils

Instructions

  1. Place a desk lamp on a table about 6 feet from a blank wall.
  2. Have your child stand against the wall so his profile casts a shadow on the wall behind him.

  4. When the tracing is complete, let your child use washable markers, crayons, or coloured pencils to add details to the portrait.
