Red White and Blue Patriotic Wreath
Encourage the kids to make a heart wreath to hang on your door for Memorial day. Red, white and blue crafts are appropriate for all the USA patriotic holidays. You can find many of the supplies at the Dollar Store.
Trivia:
Some records show that one of the earliest Memorial Day commemorations was organized by a group of formerly enslaved people in Charleston, South Carolina less than a month after the Confederacy surrendered in 1865. Nevertheless, in 1966 the federal government declared Waterloo, New York, the official birthplace of Memorial Day. Source: History – The Birthplace of Memorial Day and Early Observances
