LO is working on this activity called Mat Man, it's part of the handwriting without tears curriculum I believe. You use different shapes to create a person and it has a song that goes with it. Since most kids skip body parts I think it's a great way to teach them to include everything and for them to learn where the parts go. Here is a picture of what Mat Man is. The one she used was wood pieces, rulers, paper hands etc so it was made with objects.
