Draw Me In Coloring Activity
Use this autism-friendly coloring activity to show there's a place for every child a community!
Belonging means being an integral part of a community. While it may take patience, practice, and persistence to discover, there is a place for everyone, both neurotypical and autistic. Imagining—and seeing—themselves as part of a group can help children believe in what’s possible for them.
These printable pages offer children the opportunity to draw themselves into the Sesame community! Print the pages and invite children to color them in. Children can draw themselves into the pictures (or glue in a photo). Remind children that they belong!
This is a great autism-friendly coloring activity and a simple craft to remind all children that they belong!
