Memorial Day Roundup! Ideas for School & Home
I can hardly believe it, but it’s true… Memorial Day is *almost* upon us! Do you have anything fun planned {at school or at home}? If not, then maybe I can give you some ideas with a little Memorial Day Roundup post!
First up is a little freebie that I created for Veteran’s Day, but it can be used for Memorial Day, too! It’s called thank you, hero! free printables} and it includes includes writing pages with graphics for the Army, Marines, Air Force, and Navy:
All pages are titled, “Thank you, Hero!” and feature different graphics. They’re also available with primary and secondary lines. One page has space for little learners to draw a picture instead {pictured above}!
Next, there’s my heart the flag {a craftivity} unit. I’ve blogged about it a few times before, because it is very versatile! I included writing pages for Memorial Day, Patriot Day, and Veteran’s Day:
If you already used the heart this year {like me, for September 11th}, then what about this cute and simple handprint activity?
This idea came from Muffin Tin Mom! I adore it!
I’m also loving this popsicle stick flag craft from Ginger Snap Crafts:
So pretty! Follow the link to the site for a quick tutorial on how to make these!
Of course, 3pm Friday marks the official start of Memorial Day Weekend {and the unofficial start of summer}! I’m throwing a little BBQ at my house, so I’ve been looking up fun dessert ideas. Here’s my favorite… can you guess why??
Delicious, and easy to make!
Another treat that I found {and made once! SO good!} is this Jello flag cake:
Doesn’t it look yummy? And healthy-ish? 🙂 It was a hit!
Last but not least… a Red, White, and Blueberry trifle:
I also gave this one a try! It was easy and… you guessed it… tasty!
That’s it for my Memorial Day Roundup!
Hope you found some ideas you can use!! 🙂 🙂
