My Favorites and Me

Why

What's in a name? Let kids discover for themselves with this activity that promotes self-awareness and self-esteem as well as language and art skills.

Steps

1. Write your name in large block letters with Crayola® Colored Pencils on white paper.

2. What are some of your favorites-people, songs, games, colors? Draw pictures of them inside and around the spaces near the letters in your name.

Safety Guidelines

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
