I need to trace my six yr. old for the My body book. We start in three weeks, so I have time...just don't know where to look! Where can I find paper this big? Thanks!

I found a 25 foot long roll of banner paper at Wal-Mart. My guess is that you could find something similar in a variety of stores.

It's two foot wide. So your son would have to keep his hands close to his side.

Local Newpaper, or another printing shop. I went to the local printing company, because their paper is nicer. Mention that it's for education; I received my rolls for free. (Normal would be $4-$8 an "end roll")

I have found big rolls at Wal-Mart, Target, Micheal's, and teacher and parent supply stores.

Parent or teacher supply stores - it's funny because I just traced both girls last night for that very book! Where I got mine, they sell paper on huge rolls by the foot. Both girls were able to be on the paper width-wise so I didn't need 8 feet of it.

brown wrapping paper you can buy with the shipping supplies at our local grocer.

When we did it, I used a leftover roll of wallpaper liner. It's nice because it's extra thick.

The local newspaper will usually sell you end rolls of newsprint very cheaply! Our newspaper will give you an end roll free if it's for educational use.

You can get contractor rolls in the paint section at places like Home Depot.
