Family Activity: All The People

WHAT YOU NEED: activity page, crayons or markers, scissors, blocks, and empty toilet paper tubes

WHAT YOU DO: 

• Before the Activity: Print off the activity pages and give them to your child. Encourage your child to color the pictures. Then tape each person to a toilet paper tube.
