Motivate kids to become trailblazers this Black History Month with Kids Crafts’ collection of activity kits based on inspiring African American women who made history.

Kids can create a unique wall hanging with the Brave Like Rosa Punch Needle Craft Kit. Rosa Parks did not set out to change the world when she took her bus ride one day, but she exhibited great bravery by saying “nah.” Now this craft kit will help encourage kids to make a statement and stand up for what they believe in. The kit includes a punch needle, an embroidery hoop, a stenciled canvas, black and yellow yarn, felt stickers, pompom fringe, non-toxic fabric glue, string, and a rod for hanging. Kids will also find a set of LeadHER questions intended to engage conversation and discovery.

Encourage kids that their voice matters with this kit, which includes a braided seagrass rainbow, nine different shades of yarn, seven matching pompoms, string for hanging, and a list of LeadHER questions.
