This month people will be celebrating Peace One Day, for some it will be the International Day of Peace, and in honor of this holiday of harmony, the Create a Master-Peace campaign encourages children to pacify a common accessory of war: the gun. By crafting non-violent, neutral art out of objects that once instilled fear and hate, these children are learning that people really can make a difference in the world.
The Master-Peace campaign's website helps in this cause by providing ideas, stencils and patterns that will inspire children's own creative creations. From shooting out balloons, flowers and streamers, the weapons have been turned into toys that will influence peaceful gatherings, communication and, of course, love.
