Memorial Day Kids Activities and American Flag Preschooler crafts to celebrate USA PATRIOTIC holidays with Montessori inspired practical life, sensorial, and math invitations to learn.
Today, we are paying homage to the Memorial Day, a day to show solemn remembrance of the brave Americans who have laid down their lives for the freedom we so cherish.
In the morning, to honor those brave men and women and to make it special for Julia (who is off from school today), Adrian cut some fresh peonies from our garden to decorate the table. He also set the placemats (buy similar here) and utensils (buy here) for their special Memorial Day breakfast.
As a food offering: Adrian washed some berries and served some nuts.
See children’s outfits here.
Julia then read to Adrian a Memorial Day book (buy here), and we talked about the significance of this holiday, during which we pay tribute to those who died serving in the military, while protecting our country, our values and our freedom.
American Flag Preschooler crafts
Montessori Inspired MATH
Here is a fun math twist to a fine-motor sticker activity. Adrian would place the exact amount of gold stars as the number indicates.
Montessori PLA TRANSFERRING
Memorial Day Inspired Pom-Poms Tonging Color Sorting Activity.
Tonging pom-poms using spork tongs is a great fine-motor exercise to develop hand-eye coordination.
Tonging pom-poms using sugar tongs.
All pom-poms are sorted by color from a lotus dish into sake cups.
American Flag Preschooler crafts
Memorial Day colors inspired U.S. Flag Dot-Sticker activity.
Placing dot-stickers on the flag-template requires precision and is a great fine-motor exercise.
FINE MOTOR STAR TWEEZER TRANSFER
Another great fine-motor exercise is to using a tweezer to sort stars by color. (We are using confetti stars.)
We love using Holidays as themed unit-studies for our activities, which adds newness, diversity, and a spike in interest. Memorial Day Kids Activities are a fun way to promote important developmental skills while teaching children, through American Flag Preschooler crafts, about the important Patriotic holiday!
I hope you enjoyed our USA PATRIOTIC Kids Activities! Which Memorial Day craft was your favorite?
