Poppy Coloring Pages: Teach Your Kids About Remembrance Day

** Includes How to PRINT Out Directions (see below)

A good way to teach your kids about something is to have them color a picture while you tell a story. That way they are in a quiet mood to listen, the picture allows them to be creative, but if it's connected to what you're saying it just reaffirms it in their minds, memories and hearts. 

Below are 2 coloring pictures for Remembrance Day: A basic poppy outline (they can add to and enhance) & 
a more complex Poppy Bouquet.

I've also read & discovered that coloring lowers blood pressure. So you might want to try it yourself (even if you're an adult, with or without children)

Project # 1 - ENTRIES

This is the results of the very first project I put up here at LOVE n DOODLES. A simple colouring page of an outline of crayons. You had to print it out and then make it uniquely YOURS.

My thanks to all those who took the time to get involved.

Love Laura-Lee

 

AMY -who is an artist obviously going through her "blue" period.

ANONYMOUS - Curious that this person drew an extra crayon. Where did it come from? How will it fit in the box?  Obviously embracing the concept of "outside the box".

JASMINE - Well on her way to an artistic career

KYLIE and KAREN - seeing 2 exact pictures together but each person demonstrating their own individuality. (they totally get the idea behind this blog)

LAURA-LEE -  my 2 cents worth, with a Christmas theme.
 I've strung lights along the crayons and plugged them in. (and I'm all about the presents too)

P.S. Keep in mind that you can continue to contribute to this Project #1 at any time. If you send something in, I will add it to the post. Please put your name (first only is enough) and your age and country (if you wish)

PROJECT #1

We need to start by learning to not be afraid to do something individual, but if you're like me, it's not always easy. We've been brought up a certain way. With rules and guidelines. Those aren't a bad thing. But they should be a foundation, not all that there is. The "Starting" gate; not the "Finish" line.

Your first project is to print out the picture below and color it ANY WAY YOU WANT! Do as little or as much as you wish. Use crayons or paint or nail polish.

The key word here is 'different' . So keep that in mind.

And, if you feel comfortable doing so, perhaps scan what you've done into your computer an send me a copy. I can posted or it can be just for me to see.

Let's see what you can do. (I can't wait)

Love   Laura-Lee

If it's not there, click on "SAVE AS" and save the picture to your computer , making sure to give it a name you will remember.  Then, after it's saved, find the file with the name you just gave it, open it and print out that file. Good luck. L-L
