[quote=Anonymous]My DH and I are both white. He's olive, and I'm pink. We live in a very multicultural area. Our DCs were fascinated by skin colors, and it was a recurring topic of conversation in their preschools. I feel like it mostly settled down in Kindergarten. They're in high school now, so my memories are fading. We talked about what color they were. One of my kids is pinker, like me, the other is olive toned like her dad. It's obvious to the kids but they might not have words for it. In the 2 year old program at their preschool, their teacher had a craft where kids made dolls of themselves using pieces of construction paper glued to a doll shape. She had a huge variety of colors. Some kids were very determined to pick the color that most closely matched them, others picked their favorite color, and some went full-on random. It was a fun activity and since 2 year olds love talking about colors, it was also a great way to teach them how different everyone is.[/quote]
