My Project

Coloring is one of our favorite things to do in our classroom! The kids take pride in their illustrations and want them to look as realistic as possible. Often, my students struggle when it comes to coloring pictures of themselves. I want to make sure that they have access to the colors they need.

My students deserve to be able to color in pictures of themselves with a color that matches their skin tone!

With the use of the crayons and construction paper they will be able to take pride in their own skin tones and what makes them special.
