This patriotic wand memorial day craft for kids is quick, easy and fun to use when complete! My students love when they can use something that they have created and this wand is great for that.. Especially if you have students who will be attending a Memorial Day parade or event.
In this blog post you’ll find instructions – and photos – for how you can make this craft too. I’ve also included links to other Memorial Day activities that you may like.
