Be Your Own Hero

In Collaboration with Larchmont Charter School LFP Arts & Crafts Club

In honor of Women's History Month in March, we designed a superhero mask craft project for the Hollygrove students that incorporated knowledge about astounding women throughout history. The superhero masks were symbolic of the heroism of these women and were a vehicle to show the students that anyone has the potential to be a hero - even themselves. The care bags we created for the students included plain superhero mask bases for them to decorate, crayons, construction paper cutouts, and a Women's History Month activity booklet designed by the Larchmont Girls Build LA team. The Arts & Crafts club also made a video tutorial for the students to follow at Hollygrove's morning sing. Together, we created 200 care bags that Hollygrove students picked up through their weekly grab-and-go lunch pick-up. We hope that this Women's History Month craft project gave the young students an opportunity to have fun and take their minds off the present time's distressing events and ongoing pandemic.
