This month in Preschool Science, we are learning about the theme of healthy foods, healthy bodies and healthy eating/lifestyle habits. For this unit of study, I will be updating and adding projects as we learn and practice new things.
Whole Body Art
We started of by tracing our body on recycled paper. I had my preschooler lay on a large piece of paper that was just a little bit taller than him. I asked him to lay out his hands, and feet flat on the paper, as I traced an outline around his body using a dark colored marker.
After tracing with marker, we did a whole group painting project. All of us (including my nice husband), painted different parts of the whole body outline, using colors of choice. We used watercolor paints and sponge brushes for this painting project.

After painting, I left the project to air dry.

Once it dried thoroughly, me and my preschooler cut along the traced line that I had done previously of my preschooler's body. This was the end result:

Overall, it was a fun family event. I will be hanging it up on a wall for our next project. Check back for updates, thanks!
