Fun, Educational Activities For Parents And Children
Children who receive lots of positive attention from the adults in their lives are more likely to develop a clear system of values and live a productive and satisfying life. Take a break from homework, housework, or wasting time and have some fun together! (There will be learning, too!)

For this activity, you will need a large sheet of white paper for every person.  You will also need a dim room and a bright light that can be directed like a spotlight.  Scissors, glue, a pencil and construction paper will complete your project.

Tape one of the sheets of paper on the wall.  Shine the light onto the paper.  Stand or seat one person in front of the paper, profile-wise.  Trace the shadow of the person onto the white paper.  Remove that paper and repeat with the second person until everyone has a drawn outline of his or her profile.

Cut out the profile outlines to use as stencils.  Trace onto colored construction paper and cut out.  Glue colored silhouette onto a contrasting color of construction paper.

Do you see any family resemblances in the profiles?
