I can't wait to try this next Valentine's. <br />I hear you about the skin colour issue- the way I tackle it (my school is very multicultural with many first generation immigrant children) is to make a BIG deal of my collection of 'multicultural' colored pencils and crayons. (Crayola makes some, LYRA is my favourite brand, though). I also find my African students tend to take the 'peach color' skin color and it makes me so sad. (some also give themselves blonde hair :( So I set up a 'testing station" where the kids have scrap paper and the multicultural crayons (which I keep separate from my regular crayons). They have to test out the colour on scrap paper then hold it up to their skin- it needs to match (more or less). They really buy into this and often come running up to me asking "Do you think this color matches?" I make a big deal of it having to match in order to be realistic. Of course we have the class talk about how we all look different and that's ok, what makes us special, etc. etc.Misshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14505411826646402867noreply@blogger.com
