Things I Like About Me
What are all of the things you love about you? In this activity, your child will have an opportunity to answer this question and will design a poster that displays their talents, what they like, and images or words that describe themselves.

What You Do:
- Ask your child, "What are all the things you like about yourself? What makes you unique?"
- Explain that they will be designing a poster that shows all the things they love about themselves. Their poster should include their interests, talents, and images and words that describe them.
- Have your child paste a picture of him or herself in the middle of the poster.
- Ask your child to cut out pictures of things that make them special and unique, such as interests, talents, and qualities.
- Paste the images around their picture.
- Have them color and draw around their images.
- Hang your child's completed poster somewhere as a reminder of all the things that make them great!
