Martin Luther King Jr. was a civil rights activist. Peacefully advocating for the rights of all people, we honor every 3rd Monday in January to the late Dr. King. In celebration of MLK Jr. Day, we made a collage symbolizing all of human kind striving for love and peace.

1. Paint paper any way you'd like it. You can blend, paint a design, paint a pattern, sponge, paint scrape, anything!

2. Trace your hand or a friend's hand on all colors of construction paper except pink. It might be a nice activity to trace a different friend's hand for each color, building on the "working together" theme.

3. Cut and glue into a collage either all holding a heart or a peace sign made from the pink paper. If students have extra time, they can color in/ design their heart/ peace sign.
