Fun Fridays with Mrs. Pankau: Memorial Day Craft and Song for Kids

Memorial Day is just around the corner! For many Americans that means barbecues, parades and spending time with family. For many children that means a three day weekend and maybe even the start of summer vacation. Today I’m sharing a few ways to make this day meaningful to your children. I’ll be sharing a Memorial Day craft and song for kids. While your doing this craft you can talk with your child about the meaning of Memorial Day.

Memorial Day Craft and Song for Kids

Materials

Directions

First paint your glass jars.

Be creative, if you want to add stripes paint your jar one color and then when it is dry use the painters tape to make stripes. Remove the painters tape before the paint completely dries.

When the paint is dry you can use the sanding block to give the jar a distressed look, I decided not to. Next I used the star hole puncher to cut out stars to put on the blue jar.

Use Mod Podge and a foam brush to glue the stars to the blue jar. I applied the Mod Podge first, the the stars, and then I put one more layer of Mod Podge on top.
