Preparation: Cut the shapes for the belt and shoes out of white butcher paper ahead of time. What you will do during class: Have each child lie down on a sheet of butcher paper and have an older helper trace his or her body outline. Each child will write his or her name on their paper outline and then tape the paper outline to wall. Use aluminum foil for the helmet and the breastplate. The belt and shoes are made from white butcher paper, and the kids decorated them. Cut the belt and shoes out ahead of time. Make the sword from colorful paper. The children will glue all these items to their own body outline. Make the shield from poster board and add a handle to the back of the shield so the kids can carry and play with it. Once complete, the kids can roll up their body outlines and take them home to put up on their walls.
