However, it is important to teach preschoolers the significance of this day. So, here are a few ways to help preschoolers understand Veterans Day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Notes<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The month of November reminds us to be thankful. This free<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantasticfunandlearning.com\/thank-you-veterans-military-easy-reader.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> printable<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can help your preschooler learn about the different branches of the military and create a thank you page for a veteran. Operation Gratitude\u2019s Halloween Candy Give-Back Program allows your preschooler to donate leftover Halloween candy to troops who are stationed overseas. Check out this<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.operationgratitude.com\/halloween-candy-give-back-program\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> link<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for more information and other ways to donate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Books<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reading is always a great way to explain things to preschoolers. You can check out these books from your local library or find a read aloud version on YouTube to help your child learn more about Veterans Day.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hero Dad<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hero Mom<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> by Melinda Hardin<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Poppy Lady<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> by Moina belle Michael<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Veterans: Heroes in our Neighborhood<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> by Valerie Pfundstein<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Night Catch<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> by Brenda Ehrmantraut<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Proud as a Peacock, Brave as a Lion<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> by Jane Barclay<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Parades<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Check your local community or school calendar for a Veterans Day parade your family could attend. The ideas of wars and soldiers may be difficult for a preschooler to understand. Seeing the different service members, hearing the music, and the other sights and sounds will help make abstract concepts more concrete for your child. Instead of just watching the parade, participate by making posters or signs to show your appreciation for the veterans there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Poppies<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other countries celebrate Remembrance Day which is similar to our Veterans Day. The poppy flower is a symbol for both of these days. You could plant some poppies together, purchase poppies from the American Legion Auxiliary, or make a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.schooltimesnippets.com\/2018\/09\/remembrance-day-tear-art-poppies-craft.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> torn paper craft.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Having something physical to look at will also help keep the conversation going in your home, and having these little connections will help your preschool understand the significance of Veterans Day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you enjoyed this blog, please take a look at our school\u2019s<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/waterford-lakes\/blog\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> blog page<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
