The Black is Beautiful movement was on the rise at the time King made this speech, which includes messages about self-love. As King urged Black people to seek their own liberation, he talked about Blackness and urged them to proclaim “Yes, I’m Black. I’m proud of it. I’m Black and beautiful.” - Teaching Tolerance
Dr. King Said It: I'm Black and I'm Proud!

Babies, babies and more babies! Submit your pics of your newborn and we will make you a birth announcement!

Snowflake Patterns
Bring snowflakes into your home by cutting out these snowflake patterns! Throw them in the air with baby or hang them from the ceiling using pieces of string using tape.
Scarf Activity
A scarf will help build up the baby's fine motor skills when they are pulling and pushing the scarf through the holes on the containers.
