Self-Portraits

A self-portrait is a great way for the young child to explore the concept of self. This activity can help the children to learn about what people look like, how different people are alike and different, and build additional skills such as shape and color recognition.

Throughout the year the Cardinals will be asked to draw a picture of themselves. Often the use of a small mirror will help them become more aware of facial details. Through this activity the Cardinals develop self awareness as well as awareness of others. As the year progresses it is exciting to see how their fine motor skills develop and their perspective changes.
