You will need an unbreakable mirror for each child and fingerpaint. Have the children spend a few minutes looking at their features in the mirror – the shape of their eyes or their mouths.  Ask them to note differences when they smile or frown. Have the children fingerpaint their expression on the mirror.  Ask the children to trade mirrors when done and talk about their unique features such as, “I have a freckle on my cheek.” This can be done in small group.
