Remember Military Service with a Red Poppy Craft Activity
The red poppy has long been used as a symbol of remembrance and appreciation for military service. Inspired by the famous poem In Flanders Fields, the poppy became associated with honoring members of the military after World War I. In the United States, some people wear red poppies during Veterans Day and Memorial Day observances as a way to recognize and remember those who have served.
This simple yet meaningful classroom craft activity gives students the opportunity to color, cut, and assemble a red poppy of their own. Display completed poppies individually or work together as a class to create a poppy display or wreath for a Veterans Day or Memorial Day observance.
Assembling Your Memorial & Veterans Day Crafts
- Color the petal sections red.
- Cut out each of the pieces of the poppy.
- Attach the sections together at the center using a brad or paper fastener to secure the pieces together.
- Combine student-made poppies and staple them to your board to create a beautiful poppy wreath.
