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!
