Remembrance Day Poppies - Pack of 50

The Remembrance Day Poppies pack is a meaningful and educational craft activity designed to help children understand and commemorate the significance of Remembrance Day. This hands-on project allows students to create beautiful, personalised poppies that serve as a tribute to soldiers past and present, while learning about the history and symbolism of the poppy. Ideal for classroom activities, these easy-to-make tissue paper poppies are suitable for children aged 3+ years and are a thoughtful way to engage young learners in respectful reflection.

The pack includes materials to make 50 complete poppies:

• 100 red tissue poppy petals
• 100 green tissue leaves
• 50 black tissue centres
• 50 green chenille stems (4")

Each poppy can be decorated individually for a personal artwork or combined with others to create a large, collaborative class display. These poppies are perfect for school Remembrance Day ceremonies, window displays, or memorial projects. A guide is included to support teachers in delivering this activity with historical context and creativity. The activity also encourages students to reflect on the events of November 11, 1918, when at 11am, all guns fell silent on the Western Front, marking the end of World War I-a moment we now honour with a minute of silence each year.
