Materials

  • paper
  • crayons, markers, coloring pencils, or paint

Instructions

  • Let’s imagine you as a real-life superhero! What are you really great at doing? Can you build things like Rusty? Can you find things like Dora? Can you use clues to solve puzzles like Blue? Are you super kind like Peppa or super good at rhyming like Wally Trollman? What’s your real-life super power?
  • Let’s draw a picture of SUPER YOU! 
  • Let’s imagine how Super YOU might save the day with your superpower. How could you be a real-life superhero?
  • Tip for Grown-ups: Younger children can get more from this art project if they tell you about their picture as they draw. You might not recognize anything in their picture when it’s finished, but that’s fine! This is more about the process of thinking about what makes us special than about the finished masterpiece! Older children can create a comic strip version of them doing their super skill. Talk about comics and look at some comics together for inspiration.
