Simple and adaptable activities to foster babies' and toddlers' cognitive development and emotional well-being are offered by Alice Sharp One face, two faces

One face, two faces

* Make four enlarged photocopies of two children's faces. Leave two copies intact, cut one in two and cut the last into four pieces. * Show a child the two complete images and ask them to find both noses/mouths/noses.

Substitute another child's face for one of the images and repeat. Ask if the faces are the same or different. * With two children, offer them the two-piece jigsaws of themselves to put together. * Suggest they swap a piece to create another face. * Repeat the process using the four-piece jigsaws and try to make even funnier faces.
