GOAL:GOAL:    The  goal  of  this  activity  is  to  promote  attention  to  faces  and  to  facilitate  the  

child’s  understanding  of  the  configuration  of  facial  features.      

OBJECTIVEOBJECTIVE ::    Constructing  faces  using  Mr.  &  Mrs.  Potato  Head  as  a  model  will  

reinforce  the  child’s  understanding  of  the  structural  features  of  a  face  (e.g.  eyes,  nose,  and  mouth)  and  their  spatial  arrangement  or  configuration.    This  exercise  also  encourages  selective  attention  to  faces  over  non-­‐face  objects  (e.g.  hat,  glasses,  arms  etc.).      This  activity  can  be  done  one-­‐to-­‐one  or  in  a  group.    

MATERIALS:MATERIALS:    Printable  Mr.  &  Mrs.  Potato  Head  forms  and  face  parts  (option:  Mr.  

and  Mrs.  Potato  head  doll  and  detachable  parts)    

                                   PROCEDURE:PROCEDURE:      Step  1:  Print  and  Cut    With  the  child(ren),  cut  out  the  Mr.  &  Mrs.  Potato  Head  parts  along  their  shapes.    There  is  no  need  to  cut  out  the  potato  forms  as  they  will  serve  as  the  base  for  your  potato

creations!    Printing  on  heavier  paper  such  as  card  stock  will  make  stronger  pieces  to  work  with.    Laminating  is  a  good  option  for  those  who  would  like  to  re-­‐use  their  Mr.  &  Mrs.  Potato  Head  forms  and  parts.    Alternatively,  you  can  print  and  cut  using  magnet  paper  for  a  great  magnetic  activity  you  can  use  on  its  own  or  on  a  magnetic  surface  such  as  a  refrigerator.    Magnet  paper  for  printers  can  be  purchased  at  any  office  supply  store.    

 Step  2:  Put  it  Together    Explain  to  the  child(ren)  that  they  are  going  to  be  constructing  a  face  using  Mr.  &  Mrs.  Potato  Head.    Review  the  face  parts  and  their  correct  spatial  configuration  by  asking  the  child  to  pick  out  the  potato  face  parts  from  the  potato  objects  and  then  arrange  the  face  parts  how  you  would  normally  see  them  presented  on  a  face  (e.g.  eyes  above  the  nose,  mouth  below  the  nose).    As  tutor,  you  may  want  demonstrate.      Next,  encourage  the  child  to  construct  their  own  Mr.  &  Mrs.  Potato  Head  by  placing  the  parts  on  top  of  the  potato  form.    They  can  choose  from  a  selection  of  eyes,  noses,  and  mouths.    The  object  is  to  select  these  parts  from  the  non-­‐face  parts  and  place  them  on  the  potato  form  in  the  correct  spatial  configuration  (tutor  can  offer  feedback  or  correction  if  needed).    Finish  your  potato  head  by  adding  on  the  non-­‐face  parts.    Try  as  many  combinations  as  you  wish…no  matter  how  silly!          

 Step  3:    Mix  it  Up!    Now,  construct  a  potato  head  that  that  doesn’t  make  any  sense!    The  Mr.  &  Mrs.  Potato  Head  creations  can  be  scrambled,  have  missing  parts,  incorrect  spatial  configuration,  or  what  ever  your  imagination  can  come  up  with.    Encourage  discussion  about  what’s  wrong  with  the  face  and  why.
