We All Have Different Shades of Skin Story

· ·

Hello friends,

The last week has brought a lot of disbelief and unrest across our country.  The murder of George Floyd took place 30 minutes from my home.  My heart is broken for his family and friends.  This story is meant to be a way to begin to talk about the topic of skin color with young children.  Little ones don’t understand racism, hate or injustice.  They MAY notice that we all have different color skin or hair.  This story is meant to provide a simple, basic way to talk about skin color.  A special thanks to Jamie and Duriel Johnson, and Simona Byron Boler for you input and guidance <3

  1. These are truly brilliant! I'm in England is there any way I could print them off to place in my playroom. I'm a childminder. 😀

  2. Thank you so much! This is wonderful! I shared this with several colleagues (direct link to your site) and plan to use this resource with my 3yo daughter and my clients.

  3. Apply characteristic items, for example, normal oils like avocado, almond, olive, jojoba, coconut, or flaxseed to the skin after a shower or shower. While your skin is still somewhat clammy, apply a liberal measure of your #1 common oil to your skin. This will help trap dampness and will keep the skin soggy longer. spa therapist
