Labor Day

Happy Labor Day! I hope everyone has enjoyed their long weekend thus far. Our family is having a small casual barbecue with simple foods (my husband’s beef barbecue, corn on the cob, and watermelon). I also usually like to create a few printables for the kids to help them remember why we celebrate each holiday and to also get them excited for the unique occasion. This year, I made a labor day mini-book, a few labor day coloring pages, cut outs to construct popsicle stick workers, and in response to my son’s request… some writing pages with community helper vehicles. These are all free to download here for personal, single classroom, or library use:

The mini book is best printed out back to back, cut in half, and stapled in the middle to create a book for your child to read and color. Googly eyes can be a fun addition to the puppet faces. You can also encourage your child to draw different facial expressions on their puppets, add a mask, or use paper scraps to further embellish them. My son really enjoyed writing about his day driving the excavator.

I create more printable activities for kids here with the goal of helping to grow kids who love to learn.

If your child or classroom uses these printables, I would love to see it! Please use #sodangfun on social media, tag me @sodangfun on Instagram, or post to my Facebook page.

I hope this post can help your kids to observe Labor Day and I hope you enjoy a wonderful long weekend!
