Well, feel free to use this lesson. Just let people know where you got the idea. Another variation on this lesson is to use multicultural construction paper vs. the die cut people (I use to make it more doable for kindy) to cut out body parts. I have done just that with first grade and it goes pretty well. It may add a day to your lesson.
I hope to add example photos soon and keep your eyes peeled for more lessons to come as I gear up for the new school year.
