For Children with Special Needs:
Assist your child as much as needed - but allow it to be his project.
Art projects are great for fine motor exercise, and using creativity.
If your child has a limited attention span, have all supplies ready before having him begin the project.
Substitute art supplies that are easiest for your child to work with to limit frustration. You can use paint instead of the construction paper for his features and even his hair. You could also use only construction paper instead of the paint or the cotton balls.

For Older Children:
An older child can further enjoy this project by doing his own scissor work and writing EINSTEIN.
A fun BOOK to read in conjunction with this craft is "Meet Einstein” By Mariela Kleiner. I found out about this book on Teach Preschool, a fantastic website with tons of interesting projects, crafts, curriculum and educational ideas for preschoolers. The author of the site,

Why Did Einstein Say Negative Things About His Education like...
"The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education." and
"Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school."
His answer: "One had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examinations, whether one liked it or not. This coercion had such a deterring effect on me that, after I had passed the final examination, I found the consideration of any scientific problems distasteful to me for an entire year." "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing."
PLEASE POST IN COMMENTS your opinion of this kids craft, if you enjoyed it, other ideas that may be similar.
