Honoring Memorial Day - A Family Celebration
At Wanderwild, we believe in cultivating simple celebrations, joyful moments, and sweet memories for our families. We always say, it doesn’t have to be complicated to become a wonderful memory. Today we are bringing you 8 simple ideas for honoring the meaning of Memorial Day alongside your families. It is a day to pause, respect, remember and honor those who have lost their lives serving in the United States military. May we always remember the great sacrifices made for our freedoms.

Make a Tin Can Windsock. Upcycle whatever materials you have around your house - cups, cans, ribbon, crepe paper, construction paper, to make this sweet windsock to remind your family of our brave servicemen and women.

Grilled Veggie Kabobs. Our kids go nuts over anything on a stick (er, skewer), so while we’ve got the grill fired up we’ll be serving some nutritious grilled veggies for dinner. We love how versatile these are - use any veggies you love and happen to have in the fridge. Be sure to get your kids involved in the assembly. Bonus: The skewers can double as supplies for your pinwheels.
It’s grilling season! Nothing says America, like a good old classic Cheeseburger.
