Poppy Art for Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day is November 11th in Canada. My kids are learning about the significance of Remembrance Day in school and are proudly wearing their poppies on their jackets. Here’s a fun Remembrance Day craft for kids that is inspired by the famous poem “In Flanders Fields the poppies blow.”

What You’ll Need

• watercolour paper
• watercolour paints
• paint brush
• black Buttons
• red scrapbook papers cut into different shaped circles
• glue
• cup of water

How To Make It

1. Lay out some newspapers, or a large piece of cardboard and set up your craft.  Lay out your paper, paints, brushes and water.

2. Paint the watercolour paper with your watercolour paints.  We made a nice green field and a blue sky.  Add some green poppy stems.

3. Grab your red scrapbook papers and glue them onto the poppy stems going from largest to smallest.  Glue a black button in the middle of the poppy.

4. Allow your masterpiece to dry and proudly display!
