Many families use Memorial Day to mark the beginning of the summer outdoor and cookout season and may gather for a long three-day weekend of festivities.
While this is fine, it’s also important to remember, respect, and honor the real reason for Memorial Day and that it’s about more than just family cookouts.
A few ideas for the holiday include:
- Patriotic Stories – Read the children’s books, In Flanders Fields: The Story Of the Poem By John McCrae and The Poppy Lady, then put poppy flowers on graves or make paper poppy flower crafts.
- Patriotic Coloring pages like this
- Patriotic Snacks
