Chalk

Chalk figures on the driveway were a mainstay this summer.  There were flowers and mountains and planets and butterflies, but my favorite were the action figures.  Here, body-tracing got dynamic.  The kids would lie flat and still, but in a running position.  After concentrated, ticklish tracing, they would would fill them in with hair flying, legs kicking, arms pumping.  The whole project became true to life.  In fact, even the act of filling in figures involves flying hair, kicking legs, and pumping arms.
