Funny faces

I saw this gorgeous mirror at a dollar store so i thought id use it in an activity based around a favourite book "Funny Face" by Nikola Smee. It is a lovely book that talks about a story of little boy who had his ball stolen by a bear and his emotions that of course end in him playing with the bear happily. I colour photocopied the faces pages that have faces/emotions on them and laminated.
As i read the book to Tara i asked her to find the card that matched the story and then show me the face in the mirror..

Sad Face...
Cross Face...



Frightened Face...

Happy Face...


It was lovely to see her amazed by her faces and i think even adults need to look in the mirror to see what emotion they are portraying to others. It takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile!!!!

  7. Ahhhhh, she is such a cutie and what a great idea you had! I loved it! Now I think you should make your own picture version of that book, with all of "her" faces! What a wonderful thing that will be for you and her when she grows up! :)
