Every year on the first day of school we do school interviews and write down favorite things all about them. I saw this idea on Pinterest and thought it would be way more fun to turn our interviews into an art project! I love how they turned out! 😍

HOW TO: 

🔦Tape a large piece of white paper to the wall and have your child sit next to it. Hold or set up a flash light (bigger one than mine will work better 😆) on the other side of them. 

✏️Use a pencil to trace around their head. Get as many details as possible, hair, eyelashes, lips, etc.
Use washi tape or painters tape to create a border and tape it to a flat surface.

🎨 Paint around the outside of their silhouette with black paint. When dry, pull off the tape.

✍️Have your child draw pictures to represent favorite things all about them: ✨ favorite food, drink, color, toy, place to visit, book, movie/show, sport/activity, hobby, animal, dessert, subject in school, memory. Draw their family, best friend, and pets. ✨

🖍️Color everything in with colored pencils or markers.

🎨Use watercolors to paint around all their drawings. Cover every white spot.

✨ Let your little ones join too and have them just paint their silhouette with watercolor paints. 

Tag me & share your beautiful creations if you try this too! ♥️
