Lifesize Superhero

Supplies:

  • Long piece of paper- butcher paper from a roll works best, but you can use craft paper from grocery deliveries, or taper together printer paper or carefully torn open paper grocery bags, (cut off the handles or any piece that doesn’t lay flat and make sure you tape on the printed side and then turn it over to draw on)

  • Writing/coloring tool

Directions

Once you have a piece of paper big enough to lie down on, put it on the floor and have someone trace the outline of your body in a pose that makes you feel powerful and strong.

Draw details, cut out the shape, and turn yourself into a superhero! Brainstorm what powers your superhero has, and write a story about how your character saves the day on the back or side of your character. Or, if you’d rather write than draw, use a thick marker to write out empowering phrases to fill the shape of your superhero.
