Frugal Kid – Military Thank You Bookmarks
May 19th is Armed Forces Day and since we should all be appreciative of our military, I thought it would be nice to do a craft based on this holiday!
Military Thank You Bookmarks
I was told that soldiers overseas read a lot so I thought it would be nice to make some bookmarks that could help them keep their place while reading!
Materials:
Card Stock
Crayons
Clip Art
Glue/Mod Podge
Directions:
1. Cut out bookmarks from white or colored card stock.
2. Have your child color and decorate them, including a “Thank You” Message.
3. Cover the completed book marks with Mod Podge to protect the homemade gifts.
Educational/Other Activities
- Language Arts: Have your child create thank you cards to go with the bookmarks.
- Science: Discuss magnets and their properties. Then create a magnetic picture frame to honor a soldier your family knows.
- Create A Care Package: Include the book mark and other needed items for the soldier. Some frequently requested items are deodorant, snack mixes, ziploc bags, toothpaste, toothbrushes, sunscreen, phone cards, etc.
