Description
About Face Game is a children's book that uses found objects to create expressive faces. The book is designed to help children develop recognition and memory skills, and to learn how to relate to emotion in others.
Best known for the award winning Play With Your Food books. artist Saxton Freymann has returned with another inspired bit of metamorphosis. Matched face pieces feature photographs of objects found at the seashore and on the streets of New York, that can be arranged to create expressive faces.
Create a near-endless cast of characters from printed images of leaves, ribbons, coins and a variety of other found objects.
By engaging in this activity, children develop the ability to identify and express characteristics of human emotion through facial expressions they create using the pieces. This is an especially helpful process for children who struggle to relate to emotion in others. or who have difficulty expressing their own feelings. Furthermore. recognition and memory skills are strengthened.
