Veteran Soldier Craft Activity

This Veterans Day Craft is the perfect activity to honor the men and women that serve our country. Its great for Veterans Day, Memorial Day, and ANZAC Day. Students will create a letter to a veteran or simply make the hands on craft. I also love to use this activity as a thank you card to veterans.

What’s included in this pdf:

• A photograph of the craft activity
• Step-by-step directions
• Templates that can be copied directly onto colored cardstock or construction paper and then cut out by students. 
• Labeled templates that can be xeroxed onto cardstock, cut by the teacher, and then traced onto colored paper and cut by students. Labels will include the name of the pattern, the color to use, and how many of each pattern to cut (Ex: Body Cut 1 Red).

Writing prompts included:

• Dear Soldier (primary and single lined)
• Veterans Day (primary and single lined)
• On Veterans Day, I can… (primary and single lined)
• Memorial Day (primary and single lined)
• On Memorial Day, I can… (primary and single lined)

Here are some fun ways to use the craft:

• study on the letter a or v
• practicing fine motor skills
• bulletin boards
• door and hallway decorations
• small group station
• pair it with a worksheet, activity, or book
• reward or class party
