Do together: Self portraits
A self portrait is the story of you. It’s an opportunity to be introspective, creative, and express who you are at the moment.
Spend some time with your girl creating self-portraits - one of her and one of you. Use any medium - paint, sketch, charcoal, pastels, collage, etc. - what speaks to you the most?
Have fun and when you are done, share them with each other and display them at home.
