Steps

A photo showing how to complete this step

Cut your cloud shapes

Just like Dr. King shared his dreams for a better world, you can share your hopes for the future in this colorful hanging art project. Cut out five cloud shapes from cardstock paper. No cloud is perfect, so older kids should be able to freehand this step. For younger children, consider drawing or printing cloud shapes for them to cut out.
