Self Portraits

Have children look in a mirror.
If possible use skin color paints, if not any will do.
Let the children paint their face right on the mirror.
Take a piece of paper and press against the mirror.
Carefully peel off and hang dry. Compare everyone's portrait
for differences such as shape, color, size.

You can take these pictures when they are dry and play a guessing game
of who is this?
