An air-dry clay self-portrait activity that invites children to observe and express themselves. Children look closely at their own features and expressions as they create a dimensional self-portrait on canvas. Through the process, children naturally develop observation skills, fine motor skills, sensory awareness, self-understanding, confidence, and creative expression. The finished piece becomes a displayable canvas artwork, giving children a meaningful way to see and celebrate themselves.
The PDF guide includes guiding questions, self-observation activities, activity steps, and extension ideas designed for a variety of learning environments.
The kit includes the PDF guide and all the materials needed for the self-portrait activity, including canvas and air-dry clay.
