This Memorial Day Medal Craft gives kids a simple way to show appreciation while learning a little about the holiday. It includes a printable medal template that kids can color, cut out, and paste together. The design is easy to work with and doesn’t require any special materials beyond basic art supplies like crayons, scissors, and glue. It also comes with a short explanation of what Memorial Day means, along with a few kid-friendly facts to help spark conversations.
This craft works well in classrooms, at home, or during group activities. It’s a nice mix of hands-on art and a bit of history, making it good for ages 5 and up with some adult help if needed. You can hang the finished medal on the wall or use it as part of a bulletin board display to mark the holiday.
