Messy Remembrance

This posts looks at Remembrance and allows us to create a Poppy and reflect, pause and pray as a way of remembering those who have fought and died for us to have peace and justice.

To make this beautiful Poppy cross follow this link: https://www.dltk-holidays.com/remembrance/mtissuepaper-poppy.htm 

Make your own door reef, use two paper plates or cut two circles out of a cereal box. You then need to cut out a smaller circle from the middle of the bigger circles so you have the shape as shown above in the photo. Stick both pieces together to make the shape more sturdy. Then you will need to wrap green coloured wool or yarn around the shape. once all of the shape is covered you can then push your Poppy's through. Then you will have a lovely poppy reef.
