You make the outline. They fill it in. The whole thing peels up when you are done.
Colored tape. A hard floor. That is it.
Kid lies down on the floor. Trace their full outline in one color of tape, pressing it flat as you go.
They stand up and look at their silhouette. Now the decorating starts.
Use different tape colors to fill in everything: hair, eyes, a smile, a shirt, pants, shoes, hands, feet, whatever they want.
Step back and look at the finished portrait together.
Peel the whole thing up when done. Floor is clean.
Do a parent outline next to the kid outline and compare the size difference.
No rules on what it has to look like. Purple hair, eight eyes, a cape. Their call entirely.
Two kids, two outlines, ten minutes on the clock. Parent judges whose tape outfit wins.
Parent tip: Let them decorate without any suggestions. The face they create will be more interesting than anything you would have come up with.
