I have a really special craft for you today.  I am going to show you how to make an All Colors are Beautiful Martin Luther King Craft.  This craft is meant to remind all of us how no matter the color of the skin that people are the same and should be treated equally.  That is what Martin Luther King represented.  In this craft you will draw a picture of yourself, copy it and color each picture with different colors.   The craft turns out beautifully…. and should be hung up this Martin Luther King Day.  So, let’s get started.
