If you're looking for a super-easy, last minute Veteran's Day craft, I have one last one for you.

These circle poppy homemade cards can be given to veterans to thank them for their service, or you can simply use them as inspiration for a paper circle art activity.

All ages from preschoolers to tweens will enjoy making these poppies (I love the one with the fringed edge!)

All you need is paper and scissors for this one. xo

Painted Poppy Stones for Remembrance Day https://happyhooligans.ca/painted-poppy-stones-craft/ https://happyhooligans.ca/painted-poppy-stones-craft/#respond Thu, 05 Nov 2020 21:17:41 +0000 https://happyhooligans.ca/?p=41785 Hello Lovely!

I have the most wonderful Veteran's Day (or Remembrance Day) craft to share with you!

These painted "Poppy Stones" are a lovely way to thank a veteran for their service.

They can be hand-delivered and given personally, or you can place them at your local cenotaph so veterans can help themselves to one.

This is such a lovely group project for a family or classroom to do together.

I've kept the design simple so even the youngest children can make them. xo
