Here's a quick way of producing a beautiful field of thumbprint poppies - so simple even a toddler can do it! A lovely summer or Remembrance Day craft.
Remembrance Day Crafts
Whether you are looking for quick and easy Remembrance Day crafts for toddlers or more engaging poppy crafts for older kids, we've got plenty of ideas to get you started here. Of course our main symbol of remembrance is the poppy, and you will find all sorts of poppy-related remembrance crafts here!
You could start with a paper plate poppy craft - we love paper plate crafts here at Activity Village and we've got two easy paper plate poppy crafts to choose from here. Another easy poppy craft is our stained glass poppy, which can be adapted to suit different ages of children. Older kids might like to make a tissue paper poppy, or even a poppy wreath - a Remembrance Day craft idea which could be adapted to suit a group or classroom of children, all making a poppy to add to the wreath. And if your children prefer painting, our poppy thumbprint idea will create a Flanders field of poppies in no time, and children will be proud to put their picture up on display.
Remembrance Day is on 11th November each year, with Remembrance Sunday on the second Sunday in November. Perhaps you could try one of these crafts in Messy Church or Sunday School this year.
All these Remembrance Day craft ideas could of course also be used as Anzac Day crafts or Veterans Day crafts too.
Although your children may enjoy making their own poppy crafts, please do support this year's Poppy Appeal by buying a poppy from a volunteer and wearing it with pride.
