Making Faces!

A silly but fun approach to children’s activity books that allows kids to be the star in their own drawings Based on the idea of a photo booth—where masks and other props set the scene for entertaining photographs—Making Faces! is a hands-on, fill-in art pad that allows children ages three and up to use their imagination to complete a picture, then tear off the sheet and poke their face through the hole, posing for the camera if they choose. They can turn themselves into kings and queens wearing crowns, astronauts wearing bubble helmets, and flowers with pretty petals. They color in floppy ears to become rabbits, shaggy manes to become lions, and pointy horns to become dinosaurs.

Each of the thirty-two activity pages has a theme or suggestion such as “I’m the captain!” or “I’m Monster-ous!” with simple drawings such as fish or googly eyes that serve as a guide and suggestions on how children can make each illustration their own.
