How to Help Your Kids Remember Veteran Relatives

How to make a memorable craft for your loved one who has served years for the U. S.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• scissors
• colored construction paper
• glue
• glitter
• felt pens, colored pencils, etc.
• a photo of your loved one
• any other decorative materials

1. Get a picture of your relative and cut neatly around the center to make a circle or a square.
2. Cut a red, white, or blue piece of construction paper into a star. (I reccommend tracing first just to be on the safe side.)
3. Glue the photo directly in the center and add a border for a nice neat touch.
4. Neatly, write a short note about the person, their years served, rest in peace, or even a short poem, anything nice and memorable.
5. Let your child decorate the rest of the star however they want. You might use stickers, glitter glue, or ever punch-out tools, anything the veteran will appreciate.

Tips & Warnings

• Be sure not to get too messy or too sloppy with your card or it won't turn out durable/keepable.
• Lamination would make a nice touch for a memory that would last a while.
