We found this great exercise over at smART Class and, it looked like Natalie and her kiddos had so much fun with it, that we had to pass it along!

Super fun, right!? We love that this color mixing activity offers a hands-on way to help your students explore the beauty of diversity and working together in harmony! Not to mention, the resulting mural offers a lovely and festive way to document your learning about this important historical figure, as well as a gorgeous decoration for your classroom or hallway!
