Society has used skin color to justify judging and separating people. Unfortunately systemic racism is unavoidable. One way to destigmatize skin color is to teach our kids to notice and appreciate it. Skin color is only one part of what makes each of us unique and wonderful.

The Thompson DIG in conjunction with the PTO is distributing a set of Crayola Colors of the World skin tone crayons to each child, containing 24 different shades of skin colors, not just brown and peach! With these, we’d like to teach our children how varied and beautiful their skin is.

Below are some fun activities you can do with your child and resources to talk to your kids about racism.

Thank you for having courageous conversations!
