Do you have any fun Memorial Day traditions? Do you spend the day with your family? Is there a certain activity you do or a place that you visit? Do your children know the meaning of Memorial Day. If you are looking for some ideas on Memorial Day activities for kids, here are a few that they may enjoy.
Memorial Day Activities:
1) Create your own star banner: Have your child trace some stars onto red, white & blue paper and then cut out these star shapes. The stars can then be given a small hole punch in the top and you can run a string or streamer through them to create a banner to hang somewhere in the house.
2) Memorial Day Word Search: Print this one for free.
3) Red, White & Blue Breakfast: Create a pancake breakfast with blue & red berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries) along with 
whipped cream.
4) Create A Centerpiece: Provide your child with red, white & blue craft items such as paper, pipe cleaners, pom poms, glitter, markers and stickers. You may also want to provide them with a small box to use as a platform. Ask them to create a centerpiece for your Memorial Day Family BBQ.
5) Outdoor Party: If you live in an area warm enough, you could plan a fun outdoor party for kids including red, white and blue water balloons, frozen treats and outdoor painting.
6) Reading: At your local library, look for a children’s book on Memorial Day to teach your kids more about this holiday like what is stands for, the origin, and ways that other people celebrate this special day.
