MLK Day Placemat Craft
This MLK Day placemat craft is symbolic of Martin Luther King's message -
that all colours of people are equal.
You will need:
Sheet of skin tone card
Paper in two more skin tone colours
Instructions:
Fold the card in half lengthways. Cut long lines in the card about 1 inch apart and about 1 inch
from the edge of the card.
Cut the paper into strips about 1 inch wide. Take a strip of paper and pass
it under the card and then up through the first slit, down through the second
and back up through the third and so on until you reach the other side of the
card. Push it up so it sits as close to the top of the red card as it can reach.
Repeat with a different coloured strip of paper, starting the other way, down
through the first slit and up through the second and so on.
Repeat until the card is full. Laminate if you wish to preserve your placemat.
