kinder portraits on a whim

i'll be honest, i don't spend as much time on portraits as i wish i could (time- the teacher's biggest dilemma!).  portraits are ultimately my favorite works of art by children!  this was on a whim, and i only did this with one class because they happened to be a day ahead of the rest.

kiddos picked a piece of construction paper, looked in the mirror (just to help them understand the process of self portraits), and painted what they "saw".  

kinda adorable, huh?

p.s. i got the idea here!
