Memorial Day Craft [cut out poppies] and Creative Writing Activity-33 pages

This Memorial Day activity blends art, history, and literacy with a hands-on STEM twist. Children begin by creating a symbolic red poppy flower using simple geometry and fine motor skills cutting out flower and leaf shapes, identifying symmetrical parts, and assembling them into a complete 3D design. Through coloring and gluing, they engage spatial awareness and sequencing, essential STEM foundations. The project not only introduces the engineering of assembling parts but also encourages kids to explore the meaning behind national symbols and their role in commemorative traditions. Once the craft is complete, students are invited to reflect through a structured writing prompt: “What does Memorial Day mean to you?” This encourages critical thinking and emotional expression, vital components of STEM education’s real-world application. Writing about heroes, freedom, and gratitude helps children connect personal experiences with civic responsibility. By integrating art, engineering, and writing, this project supports a cross-disciplinary approach that makes learning memorable and meaningful building both creativity and comprehension in a patriotic context.
