Red memorial poppy craft using a cupcake liner

April 24, 2017 by Kate 13 Comments

Here is a red memorial poppy craft using a cupcake liner and a few other basic pieces. This is a sweet little craft for kids to make in the lead up to ANZAC Day or Remembrance Day. 
Red memorial poppy craft using a cupcake liner The red poppy has long been used as a symbol of war remembrance for ANZAC Day (April 25th) and Remembrance Day (November 11th). People wear the poppies to show respect and to remember those who died in war or who still serve in war today.

They are a beautiful flower that has such a significance. You might even remember the gorgeous paper plate poppies we did a few years ago. 

Last year we made sparkling medals and talked about the bravery of those involved in war. In light of teaching our children about war, in a way that is age appropriate, and paying tribute to those who have been or are currently involved in war, this is a simple paper craft that you might like to do with your young child. It uses a couple of little red cupcake liners and a lolly craft stick. So simple and beautiful.  

Recommended age: 2 years + 
(Strict and active supervision is always required)

Invert the red cupcake liners and roughly cut them to create petals of a flower. Make one cupcake liner smaller than the other as this will ensure all the petals are visible when constructed. 

Stick the cupcake liners together using some sticky tape

Draw a rough star shape in the middle of the other cupcake liner to create the middle of the flower.
