ANZAC Day Events in Perth
ANZAC Day is a solemn time to remember those who gave their lives in past wars. It can be the perfect time to discuss and teach your children about these events whilst paying tribute to these great men and woman. If you’re looking for family-friendly events and activities, then Buggybuddys has you covered. Check out our list of ANZAC-themed events around Perth including parades, services, breakfasts and more. There’s sure to be something to suit everyone.
Please keep in mind if you have a child with sensory sensitivities to noise that there may be Flypasts performed by the RAAF. We will update our post with these details when/if they become available.
Anzac At Home Ideas
Can’t get out to an Anzac Day event with small kids or due to health issues? Not to worry! You can always observe at home. Why not create some Anzac themed crafts with the kids or bake some Anzac biscuits? The Australian War Memorial website has a list of ideas for the whole family, starting with making paper Anzac poppies.
Another fun craft idea is to make Anzac Day lanterns to light up the dawn on Anzac Day. Be A Fun Mum blog has some easy instructions on how to upcycle a milk bottle into a colourful lantern. Battery operated candles are a flame-free option to avoid burns.
