Montessori-Inspired Memorial Day Activities

Memorial Day is meant to honor American men and women who died in military service. It has also become a start-of-summer celebration for many. I think it’s possible to have both a fun Memorial Day holiday celebration for children as well as help them learn about the holiday’s true meaning.

You’ll find a lot of resources for explaining Memorial Day to your child on my Kids’ Patriotic Activities (U.S.) Pinterest board. You’ll also find many free printables and activities that are easy to prepare quickly. You could even prepare a simple Montessori-inspired patriotic tray with red, white, and blue papers along with markers, scissors, glue, and optional materials such as stickers or a hole punch.

Here I’ll share some Montessori-inspired Memorial Day printables and activities I’ve found around the blogosphere. If you live outside the United States, variations of these activities can be used for patriotic holidays in your own country.
