Give Diversity a Hand
The world's diverse people and customs make this a rich and interesting place. Teaching our children to appreciate each other enhances their experiences, and helps them contribute to a healthy and peaceful world.
1. Think about the many different personalities of people you know. Often, our personalities are expressed in our hands. What do your hands say about you? What do you wear on them to express yourself?
2. With Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencils, draw a variety of different hands on white paper. Trace around your fingers if you want to be realistic, and use Crayola Multicultural Crayons to match your skin color. Then design some other hands using your imagination. What would alien hands look like? What would they wear?
3. Decorate these real and fantasy hands to show interesting differences and similarities.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
