Instructions
1. Encourage the children to use art materials to write their names in a creative
way. Put out a variety of materials and let them create a unique autograph.
For example, they could paint it using a feather, glue ribbons in the shape of
the letters in their names, paint their name using glue and twigs, and so on.
2. For children who cannot write their names yet and do not want to try, write
their name on a piece of paper and let them use it to paint or glue over. Give
them several choices when writing their name, such as picking the color of
the paper, asking them how big to write their name, and so on.
