Anzac Day Craft Ideas To Help Children Learn

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife April 23, 2020July 22, 2020
April 23, 2020July 22, 2020

Anzac Day art, craft and cooking ideas to help your children learn the importance of April 25th, as they honour the men and women who gave their lives for their country.

Each year we take our children to the dawn Anzac Day service to remember those who fought so bravely for the freedom of our country. As I am unable to attend with my kids this year due to COVID-19, there are many other ways we can keep the Anzacs in our minds and teach our children the importance of all that they did for us. 

Anzac Day Craft Ideas for children

Anzac Day, 25th April, is one of Australia’s most important national occasions. It marks the anniversary of the first major military engagement fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. ANZAC which stands for Australia and New Zealand Army Corps, was the name given to the soldiers in the forces.

This year my family will be joining in the Driveway Dawn Service, as families across the country stand at the end of their driveways, balconies or living rooms at 6am to commemorate Anzac Day. Another great way to help your children learn about this important day, is by incorporating Anzac Day art, craft and cooking ideas into their home learning routine. 

Anzac Day Biscuits

One of the iconic ways in which we remember the Anzacs is with the ‘army biscuit’, more commonly known as the Anzac Biscuit. This is my Nan’s Anzac Biscuit recipe, and it’s a great one to make with the kids this Anzac Day.

  Find my Nan’s Anzac Biscuits recipe here.

a little help please with the hand made poppies, how do you glue to a pin ? I am doing this for a group of 6 to 8 year olds and not sure how they would do that part ?

Katrina - The Organised Housewife June 16, 2020 - 10:53 AM

Jenny I would recommend a glue gun – but if you’re wanting the children to be able to do this unassisted, perhaps try adhesive fabric tape? Best of luck! Kat x

I thought about introducing my review of the Miele I thought about introducing my review of the Miele Triflex HXI Pro with a vacuum joke… but then realised they always suck (sorry, I couldn’t help myself – lol!)
 
In all honesty though, I have a lot of boxes I like ticked when picking the perfect vacuum cleaner. Visit the link in my bio to see if Miele’s first handstick vacuum managed to tick all these boxes for me!

My day has consisted of a moment of binge watching My day has consisted of a moment of binge watching Firefly Lane. Then running kids around. 

I’m putting a candle on to sit for a moment. Then it involves more mums taxi. I’ll cherish these moments though cause they will stop soon enough. Then what am I going to do when I’m not running kids around? Ooh the thought 🤪
White Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies 🍪⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This recipe was contributed by Tracey (a lovely member of our community!). She suggests using an ice cream scoop to shape the cookies, which should give them a lovely rippled texture on top. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The base recipe without the white chocolate and cranberries can be used for any alternative ingredients like dark choc bits and macadamias. The full recipe is on my blog! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PS - I would suggest adjusting the sugar quantities to your own tastes if you prefer cookies to be less sweet! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
