Remembrance Day is just around the corner and whether you are able to attend a service or show your respect in other ways, we can show we remember by putting up poppies in our windows. There are a lot of crafts you can pick from but here are three easy options that my girls enjoyed doing, kept them occupied for awhile and didn't need a lot of supplies.
We also made a Facebook Live video of these crafts that you can catch HERE.
