Make a Hero Self Portrait
In each episode of "Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum," Xavier, Brad, and Yadina travel back in time to meet real-life historical figures when they were kids themselves. Just like the historical figures in the series, your child has heroic qualities! Help your child understand what it means to be a hero and that there is a hero in every one of us.
Materials
Directions
Look into the mirror with your child. Help her notice the features that make her who she is. Ask her what she sees — "What color is your hair? Your eyes? Do you have freckles?"
Have your child draw a self portrait based off of the qualities you talk about. Be creative and make your portrait uniquely you!
Brainstorm with your child about the character traits that make her unique. Ask your child questions — "What makes you a good friend? How would your friends describe you? What do you like to do? How do you help others?" If your child is reluctant to praise herself, start listing some of the positive qualities you see in her.
Help your child write down her positive qualities around the self portrait she's drawn.
Once you're finished, hang the portrait so that your child can be reminded every day of what makes her a hero!
