My son wondered aloud this morning about how tall he was, measured in sheets of paper. And so a fast morning project was born!
First we laid out paper. As it turns out, my guy is 6 sheets by 2 sheets.
Next, I traced him. Oops, there were some errors! Check out the difference between the ankles!
Then, he colored in the details he wanted to include.
Now we're having a grand old time rearranging the pieces as a puzzle and fitting them together properly or putting them in absurd positions. Fun, fast and inexpensive! Woot woot!
As an aside, when I noticed my 2 year old with the end of the tape roll in her mouth, as if to cut the edge off with her teeth, I realized that my attempts to save a nanosecond by not using scissors is being watched more carefully than I thought.
