The construction of a child's self-image is an extremely important process for their development as an individual belonging to society. Various approaches can be used to foster this self-image, and this article presents one such approach, which was applied in a project entitled Faces and Expressions. The project aimed to develop self-portraits in a playful and enjoyable way among children at a school located in the municipality of Fortaleza. The general objective of this study is to present the Faces and Expressions project carried out in a municipal school in Fortaleza. The specific objectives are: to present the concept of self-image in childhood; to explain possible activities that support the development of children’s self-image; to highlight the main benefits of self-image development in children; and to describe the actions carried out during the Faces and Expressions project. The methodology used in this work was a literature review, which forms the theoretical framework of the study, aligned with a case study approach that outlines the actions developed within the mentioned project, with the specific purpose of encouraging the children from the Infantil IV class of the school to create self-portraits.
