Fun Facts

The U.S. Armed Forces include six branches: Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Navy, and Space Force.

Camouflage uniforms help service members blend into different surroundings. Different patterns may be used depending on the environment, such as woodland, desert, or other outdoor settings.

Supplies

  • White paper
  • Card stock, optional
  • Scissors
  • Glue stick
  • Crayons, markers, or colored pencils, optional
  • Buddy Paper Doll in color or black and white

Instructions

  1. Print out the camouflage suit pattern on white paper.
  2. Select your favorite Buddy Paper Doll in color or black and white. Print it on card stock if you have it. Regular white paper will also work, but card stock will make the paper doll sturdier.
  3. Cut out the Buddy Paper Doll and the camouflage clothing pieces.
  4. Glue the camouflage suit onto the paper doll.
  5. Give your finished Military Buddy Paper Doll to a family member, veteran, or service member as a thoughtful thank-you craft.
