June is Pride Month! Pride Crafts 2016 Edition

Pride is a little more than a month away so I'm putting on my rainbow-colored hat and digging in for some good teen, tween and kid crafts that provide for good times and a subtle bit of learning or reflection all at the same time.

Whether 18 or 8, i'm determined to incorporate Michael Hall's 2015 picture book Red: A Crayon's Story into my craft hour. Beautifully illustrated story about diversity, how we are all unique human beings and what happens after we stop trying to find labels to fit who we are.

In keeping with the diversity theme, I'm re-purposing the so-so-easy paper doll craft for Diverse Paper Dolls. The craft is all about coloring and decorating so it will be interesting to see if kids/tweens/teens even notice if all the dolls are the same shape or if they color them all the same or differently.

More fun to come...
