Monday is Memorial Day, one of the most important and most celebrated holiday’s in American history. The last Monday in May is a day that we use to celebrate and memorialize those who have fallen in service to our country. Just because the holiday is meant for remembrance, doesn’t mean it can’t also be fun, especially for the kids! These crafts are fun, patriotic, and the perfect way for your kiddos to spend their Memorial Day. As an added bonus, most of these can also be used for the 4th of July as well!

3. Confetti Launchers
It goes without saying that these confetti launchers are bound to make a huge mess, which means that they should probably stay outside of the house unless you want to be vacuuming up red, white, and blue confetti for a month. The project is created using toilet paper rolls, balloons, and plenty of patriotic creativity. You can even use woven labels from Dutch Label Shop to make this look extra snazzy.
