Projects
Poppy Shortbread Biscuits
Children bake simple shortbread rounds and decorate them as red poppies to share with family or neighbours around Remembrance Sunday. They practise weighing, rubbing butter into flour and see how baking turns soft dough into crisp biscuits.
🔒 PremiumHand-Stitched Felt Poppy Pin
Children sew a layered felt poppy with a button centre to wear or give to someone special. They learn to tie a knot, sew stitches through several layers and attach a button, and hear why poppies grew on the battlefields of northern France and Belgium after the First World War and became a symbol of remembrance.
