Veteran’s Day Art Projects for Kids

Colorful handmade card with a red paper heart and message: "Thank you Veterans! There's no love like to you."

Today is Veteran’s Day.  A day to remember our history and the people who fought for our freedom and safety.

Children's artwork featuring paper poppies, drawn jets, an American flag, stars, and the message "THANK YOU U.S. VETERANS!" on a red-bordered white background celebrates Veteran's Day.

Every year my students create Veteran’s Day posters that are displayed at the Senior Center for their Veteran’s Day ceremony.  My fifth/sixth grade students go on a trip to the program and sing a few patriotic songs and participate in the ceremony.
