Craft celebrates Black History Month, diversity A fresh, fun and
creative way to celebrate diversity A pencil holder decorated
with children of all races can help honor the message behind the
holiday. (Ed Suba Jr./Akron Beacon Journal/MCT) I used
instructions I found at HowStuffWorks (in Home & Garden section)
to make a pencil holder decorated with images of children of all
races. Supplies you will need: White, red, royal blue felt and
scraps of other colors for decoration Acrylic paint in gold,
peach, brown, burgundy 2 1-inch plastic foam balls Yarn, beads,
sequins, buttons for trim 8 wiggle eyes, 7mm each Red chenille
stem What to do: Have an adult tape off any sharp edges around
the top of the can and cut the balls in half with a serrated
knife. Cut the white felt to fit around the can. Fold it in
half, bringing the short ends together. Draw four stick figures
equal distances apart. Leave space at the top, bottom and sides
of each for heads, hands and feet. Put a small amount of each
color on a paper plate
