All About Me Activities & Crafts for Children

All about me activities allow children to learn about their own self identity including their physical features, emotions, likes and dislikes, in order to build a strong sense of self awareness and self esteem. All about me is also a great theme to explore at the start of the school year to help both children and teachers get to know everyone in the class. 

I've put together a list of 20 different all about me activities including crafts, sensory play ideas and books that will help children learn about themselves and others. These activities are perfect to do either at home, in preschool, kindergarten or school.
