This Handprint Dove is a great craft to make for the International Day of Peace (September 21st), World Peace Day (November 17th), as well as Martin Luther King Day. It was inspired by a design that I saw in the book Hand-Shaped Art (affiliate link). How to make the Handprint Dove Craft In the book, they make the dove from construction paper. Since my little guy can't cut with a scissors yet (not very well anyway!), I thought a painted white handprint would be more fun for him. The green leaves are made from his fingerprints. The vines and wings are drawn

Hello Everyone, I never really took time out to think about this, but in learning about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. we have an opportunity to make so many connections with ourselves, other characters and people, and of course, the world, and I think it's important for kids to do the same. My little Social Studies unit on MLK does just that. Many of the activities have and will help kids understand what life may have been like in the late 50's and 60's. Many of us and unfortunately many of our kids have experienced discrimination to some degree. In our classroom we have discussed how important it is to look at the inside of a person, rather than how she looks, sounds, moves, etc. From Chrysanthemum to The Grinch, to Rudolph, we keep digging to find the hidden meaning the author is trying to portrait. MLK is one with whom we should spend time on. I have compiled many of the ideas we have used in the past and created a few new things to help those connections happen! A 9 page mini book for the kids to make is included in the unit. For your free unit, celebrate freedom and click here! The unit is over 20 pages and includes patterns for the craft connection, some mini posters, writing activities, a book for the kids to make, a song, and a puzzle. Thank you Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.! Joyfully! Nancy

We decided to go with a peace sign since Martin Luther King Jr. was a promoter of peace. All you need for this project is some paint, masking tape, and paper plates. first I taped the plate to make a peace sign. Next the children painted the plates. When the paint dried, I removed the tape. and there you have it a simple project the promotes Martin Luther King Jr's message. Peace.
