OUR COLORFUL WORLD

Thank goodness things are not just black and white, but most of us have no idea just how colorful the world around us can be. FACES Magazine takes kids around the world to see some of the most stunning, vibrant, and colorful locations, celebrations, sights, animals, and objects.

From the pink hues of Lake Hillier in Australia to the painted powders that mark the Indian holiday Holi, this edition of FACES Magazine takes an illuminating look at colors through the ages. Spin the color wheel and learn how our color schemes work, understand how color can set and affect a mood, and discover why we use colors to express feelings. Kids can trace the history of a staple of their lives: crayons—as well as learn how to make their own. And a real treat for the eyes, this edition of FACES introduces you to some of the most amazing and colorful locations and animals on the planet.
