Practice drawing a poppy flower. It starts with a round center, then 4-5 petals surrounding. After a few practices, try a few final flowers you can color and add a background to.

Here are some ideas for some backgrounds. Think of other patriotic symbols like: stars, red, white and blue, American flag, Bald Eagle... even the rainbow is a symbol of peace and can be used, like the example to the left.

Once you have your project done, display it somewhere to be reminded of this special flower leading up to Memorial Day.
