Making Faces

A couple of months ago I had a lesson plan about faces for my toddler class. I drew a big circle on the board, then drew a mouth, eyes, nose, ears, etc., and said the words as I drew it. Then I gave each child a laminated circle to make their own face with. Next I tossed about foam shapes I had cut out. Then let them make their own faces. The foam pieces allow them to keep changing the faces, and adding new things. Here are a couple of samples of what they (and their mothers) came up with.
