How did you spend your ANZAC day? Today we got to sleep in a little bit. I know people usually get up before the break of dawn to get to the dawn service but I thought this year we would just stay home and reflect.
I told the Lil' Tiger about the soldiers that went out to fight for the freedom of our country and also what it means to live free in Australia. I know she may not grasp the true meaning of it but I hope if I do this every year she will understand it one day and appreciate the sacrifices that these men, women and animal did for our great nation.
This afternoon, our ANZAC activity is to make poppies from paper. I downloaded the template from Tiny Me and pre cut a few petals as prep. I gave a pair of scissors to the Lil' Tiger and taught her how to use it properly. I think she still needs a lot of pratice using it properly but she is getting there. :) She did well with the glue stick though.
We were also suppose to bake ANZAC biscuits but I forgot that I ran out of golden syrup at home. Owh well. Maybe next year hey? I hope next year I will get myself together and maybe plan a day of it.
How did you remember/celebrate ANZAC day with your little ones?
