Ideas to help kids understand beauty is more than skin deep?

I teach and I did an activity on sunday where i had kids write down on paper who they think is beautiful... three out of the four wrote people who are beautiful on the outside.... I want to continue this lesson to help them understand the importance of inner beauty but i dont know how to do it... any helpIdeas to help kids understand beauty is more than skin deep?
The Ugly Ducking story helped a bit when I was younger, but it may not send the right overall message.





I would suggest repeating that someone is beautiful/handsome every time you come across them. Such as... you see a female nurse, not classically beautiful, and say ';That beautiful woman, over there, she helps to keep people healthy and make sure you feel good so you can play more games.'; Keep it simple and positive and they will hopefully start to see that good people are attractive no matter what they look likeIdeas to help kids understand beauty is more than skin deep?
talk about personalities what makes a person different and how everyone is different.
