Each week Sharon at Mom on Dealz brings you a kids craft that is fun, educational, and frugal. Since May 19th is Armed Forces Day this week’s project is perfect for celebrating the military.

Military Thank You Bookmarks

Materials:

• Card Stock

Directions:

Educational/Other Activities

• Language Arts: Have your child create thank you cards to go with the bookmarks.
