Memorial Day Crafts, Projects, and Worksheets

These Memorial Day crafts projects are for preschool, kindergarten and elementary school children.

Memorial Day honors US soldiers who died fighting for their country. In 1971, the US Congress declared Memorial Day to be a national holiday, to be celebrated on the last Monday of May each year. Honoring the spirit of fallen US heroes is the purpose of Memorial Day. Many people observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries and war memorials, and leaving flags, flowers, or notes on the graves of soldiers.

The crafts use materials found around the house, like paper, cardboard, boxes, string, crayons, paint, glue, etc. See a page about color mixing to see how to combine paint to make all the colors of the rainbow.
