Make this glittering Freedom Bell craft for kids to teach them even more about some of the beliefs Dr. King felt were especially important.  It's a great project to do for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Tips:

• If you don’t have a candy top to use, make your bell from an empty yogurt container or a polystyrene (or Styrofoam-brand) cup.
• Use this craft as a great opportunity to teach kids about the freedoms that we enjoy on a daily basis. 
• If you don’t have glitter glue you cam paint the bell with white craft glue and sprinkle with loose glitter.
