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)

DIRECTIONS to PRINT out a COLORING PAGE
 (several ways - see which is right for you)


 *Click picture to select it 
 1)Look for the little Printer Icon on your Browser Tab OR
 2) Find the word "PRINT" on a drop down menu
(Usually this icon is in top right corner, but could be anywhere on your Internet Page)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


* Hover over the picture you want 
* 1)Try a right-click then 
2) from the drop down list click on the word "PRINT" 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* 1) click  on this icon (where the RED ARROW is pointing) and 2) click on the word Print):  



NOTE:There are several ways to Print out something but 
basically you are trying to get to the word "Print"  OR 
find the little Icon of a Printer.
From there just read what the screen says.


** don't be afraid to press buttons (the computer usually always asks if you wish to continue & gives you a chance if you've hit the wrong button)
 If you're in the wrong place just hit CANCEL or click on a red X to CLOSE something

YOU CAN DO IT !

How To Keep Your Poppy Attached

Remembrance Day is soon coming and Poppies can be seen being worn by almost everyone. However, with only those little, straight pins to attach them, more poppies are falling off, than staying on.

Through the years this has frustrated me, so I came up with a solution. And I will share it with you now. (don't you feel privileged?)

Here is my video of how to keep your poppy attached to your jacket, no matter the situation or the weather.

(And please remember on November 11 at 11:00 am to take a minute of silence to remember those in our military - past and present- who made sacrifices for our freedom. Many the ultimate sacrifice)

Sincerely, Laura-Lee

P.S. I took the time to type out the transcript of my video so that it could be Closed Captioned. So please click the CC button to get that.
