Patriotic Memorial Day Crafts and Activities for Kids

Memorial Day isn’t just another 4th of July/patriotic celebration and a time to make craft projects for kids. Memorial Day is a reverent time for remembering individuals who have died while in service to their country through the armed forces. These brave women and men made the ultimate sacrifice so we could live the lives we have today. Although lingering on death isn’t something entirely appropriate for kids, it is important that they realize why we do honor Memorial Day. Even while doing these Memorial Day crafts, kids can learn a little more about the holiday and what makes this holiday different from all others.

But, in the spirit of celebration, Memorial Day is about celebrating American heroes. With these Memorial Day activities,  kids can have fun celebrating the holiday and embrace the spirit of honoring our fallen heroes at the same time. Because Memorial Day is about honoring American soldiers, many of these activities are flag-themed. These activities would make the perfect addition to any Memorial Day unit study.
