Eight community helpers to colour, one per page.
Why a facilitator guide for a colouring page?
“Which one is skin colour?” “Why are there two mums?” This one-page PDF offers a colouring invitation, possible responses to students’ questions, ideas for trying, mixing and layering colours, and a short note from CARL’s co-founders.
