One type of body craft project you can do with your kids is hand print art. This project simply involves tracing a child's hand-prints onto construction paper. From this point, the traced out hand-prints can be decorated by the child, painted or colored. Next the hand-prints can be cut out and placed, for example, on a bulletin board next to classmates, with each child's name on or near that set of hand-prints. You can also teach the same lesson using foot-prints.
As part of a way to teach your students the names and spellings for body parts, they can create small stencils. These stencils can be drawn on construction paper and then cut out. Your students can use washable non-toxic paints to paint these stencil letters onto the body part you assigned them, such as the forehead or hand.
Another body craft idea is to ask children to recreate themselves using construction paper and other craft supplies. Give children paper plates to create their own interpretation of their face using construction paper to create there eyes or mouth, for example, or crayons to draw in their nose.
A body craft idea that would work well around Halloween is face painting. Provide the children with mirrors and help them apply non-toxic washable face paint to themselves. They can become clowns, monsters, pirates or aliens. Or they can just paint geometric shapes like squares and circles on their faces.
