Kiddos off from school for Martin Luther King, Jr Day? Looking for something artsy and fun to do?? Here are some inspiring crafts, activities, and art projects that promote peace and diversity.
I love that each one of these peace signs is unique! Instructions can be found here for this very toddler-friendly art project!
This peace dove painting was made using a hand print! Check out Handprint and Footprint Art for the how-to.
This dove garland is beautiful and very frugal to make — using coffee filters! Click here for instructions and a free downloadable pattern.

I love this beautiful dove print made with fingerprints found via The Crafty Crow!
Have fun!!
Thank you for this timely list! I’ll be showing my 3 kids this post in the morning. I hope one of them picks the dove with fingerprints. That is gorgeous! I also love the egg analogy. May I add a link to this post on my blog MLK entry?
Absolutely, Shelisa! Thanks for linking, and have fun making art w/ the kiddos! 🙂
what great ideas! I LOVE that egg idea. Such a great way to show diversity!
I like all the dove crafts you shared. Awesome!
We had so much fun making the coffee filter doves last year, we are going to do them again! 🙂
My thanks for these wonderful ideas! We made the Peace signs for our MLK Day craft today.
Thanks so much for including our crafts in your list 🙂 I can’t wait to do your print-making idea you recently posted about!
