Walking the World

What You Need:

• Paper
• Hard surface
• Pencil
• Feet
• Crayons or colored pencils
• Pen

What You Do:

1. Hand your child a piece of paper and a pencil.
2. Place the paper down onto a hard surface and have your child place a single foot on the paper.
3. With a pencil, help them trace out each of his toes carefully.
4. Once complete, have your child set their other foot right next to the traced outline of their first foot.
5. Repeat step three to create an outline of their two feet side by side.
6. Now, pull out some colored pencils and a pen.
7. With the pen, have your child add in a smiling face to each toe of their outlined feet.
8. Once done, let your child decide which country they want each of the toes to represent. If they need help deciding, feel free to help them look up people of different cultures from all over the world in a book or on the Internet.
9. As soon as they have decided which country they want each toe to represent, help them look up examples of the types of clothes the people from those countries wear.
10. Using the crayons or colored pencils, have your child add clothes and hair to each toe accordingly.
11. Encourage them to add details and finish coloring in their toes from around the world.
12. If there's room, have your child add hands to each toe so that the people from each country represented can hold hands, This is a great way to teach your child the importance of embracing cultural differences.
