Remembrance Day Facts to accompany these colouring pages

These are some fantastic child-friendly facts about Remembrance Day that you can teach to your children alongside using these Remembrance Day colouring soldier pictures:

  • As well as poppies, rosemary is a common accompaniment to Remembrance Day. This is in recognition of an old tale about the Virgin Mary which symbolises peace.
  • Many countries observe Remembrance Day - these include, as well as Commonwealth countries like Britain and Australia, France and Belgium.
  • The first Remembrance Day ceremony was held a year after the war, in 1919.

Colouring is also a fantastic mindfulness activity. As your children carefully consider their colour choices for their remembrance day soldier pictures, and try their best to stay in the lines (not that it matters), that's all they'll be focussing on. So, instead of thinking or worrying about other matters, they're purely dedicated to the task at hand.

ENJOY!!!
