Today is Memorial Day so I took some time to teach the crazies about what that day means & why we honor it. Of course I don't want to give too many details -- 1. they are 2 & 3 & 2. I don't want them fearful every time their Daddy leaves. But, I want them to know that real people many real sacrifices all of time for their freedoms & for this country. In our home we can think of names of the fallen & remember families left behind so it is a reality in the military community bringing Memorial Day close to our hearts. So, to keep it kid-friendly, we did a patriotic craft that turned out nice. And as soon as Soldier man came through the door from outside D had questions about his job though... and he loves that his Daddy is a hero!
Paint the little hands in this pattern.
Place it on paper & give dots ("stars") in the blue area.
After it dries, let the little ones draw the flagpole. You could add things around it if you'd like, but we chose to keep it simple.
