Veterans Day Coloring Craft
My build a Veteran’s Day coloring craft and writing prompts are the perfect, no prep remembrance activity for elementary. 3 templates ensure that every ribbon activity on your November bulletin board is unique! Post your Veteran’s Day crafts and prompts in the hallway to make an engaging patriotic display.
If you’re racing to figure out what symbolic project to quickly put up in the hallway for vets, look no further. Students can complete the craft part in one class period. And you can use the accompanying writing prompts to post alongside your ribbons.
Basically, each child receives a copy of the template. Then, they color most everything, cut out the parts, and glue it together. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
This Veteran’s Day craft also comes with a PowerPoint with step-by-step pictures and simply written directions for young children. Use it for either whole group or small group instruction. Or, assign it to students via Google Classroom, Canvas, etc. so they can work independently.
Are you going to be absent and your substitute won’t have access to technology? No problem! Use the 1-page all-in-one step-by-step picture directions. Just print it out and include it with your sub plans. And then do nothing. Yes, nothing, because I’ve done it all for you!

My students loved coloring and assembling these ribbons. I love that there were different patterns for them to choose from. I put the directions up on the Smart Board and my students didn’t have any trouble assembling these. I didn’t have the class do a writing prompt, but will next year. I think the ribbons will look great attached to a writing prompt.
