Veteran’s Day is a day to honor all veterans, including members of the armed forces, people who have served in the merchant marine, and members of the coast guard. In honor of Veteran’s Day, many schools and families hold special events such as crafts and activities. Here are some ideas for Veteran’s Day crafts and activities in school:
1. Make a veteran’s memorial flag. This is a great activity for a class or group project. You will need some materials such as cotton fabric, a dowel rod, flag pins, and a hot glue gun. First, cut a piece of fabric big enough to cover the dowel rod. Then, hot glue the flag on top of the fabric. Make sure to pin it in place so it doesn’t move. Finally, make sure the flag is tall enough to display proudly.
2. Make a veteran’s pinwheel. This is a fun and easy project that can be done by a group. All you need is a pinwheel, some ribbon, and a drill. First, cut the ribbon into short lengths. Then, tie one end of the ribbon around the pinwheel’s axle. Next, tie the other end of the ribbon around the pinwheel’s hub. Finally, drill a hole in the center of the pinwheel. Now you can display your veteran’s pinwheel proudly!
3. Make a veteran’s wreath. This is a classic Veteran’s Day craft. All you need is a wreath form, some wire, and a drill. First, cut the wire to the desired length. Then, thread the wire through the wreath form’s hole. Finally, twist the wire around the wreath form’s stem. Now you can display your Veteran’s wreath proudly!4. Make a veteran’s key chain. This is a fun and easy project that can be done by a group. All you need is a key chain form, some paper clips, and a drill. First, cut the paper clips into the desired length. Then, fold the paper clips in half. Then, insert one paperclip into the key chain form’s hole. Finally, insert the remaining paper clips into the form.
