A great idea to add to this project is to have students learn about famous Kings/Queens in history. (Fictional or otherwise)

[K-4] Students use different media, techniques, and processes to communicate ideas, experiences, and stories

[K-4] Students use art materials and tools in a safe and responsible manner

[K-4] Students select and use subject matter, symbols, and ideas to communicate meaning
