Share an eMOM Flyer

Consider putting up one of our flyers on a bulletin board at work, your apartment complex, college, church or civic organization. Have it posted in your organizations newsletter, at the VFW or pass them out at local patriotic rallies. If you're creative, design your own for us to use, send it in and you may see it here!

You can download and print copies of our flyers right here. Some are conveniently set up to print two on a sheet so you'll have twice as many. All you'll need to do is cut on the dotted line in the center to separate them then cut carefully along the tabs' dotted lines so people will be able to tear the tabs off and take our web address with them when they go!

Just For Kids

Kids have the most creative ideas and these projects are fun for family night and class or school projects.  Girls scouts, Brownies, Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts will also find these projects a treat and may even be able to earn a service badge. Don’t forget to take pictures of the kids creating these works of art. Include a copy with their artwork and we may use it on our site. Items received will be shipped to our troops in our care packages. A little slice of home in every package, created by kids with love!!

eMail Our Military
Attn: Kids Projects
8004 NW 154 Street, Suite 344
Miami Lakes, FL. 33016

 

Kid Creations

Kids can make their own cards using construction paper or card stock in various sizes and art supplies. This makes an excellent classroom or art class project for students in elementary school. Try crayons, markers and glue or consider stamping or using scrap booking items to create fantastic, unique, home-made cards. See some examples on our Flickr page.

Letter Writing Project

Letter writing is an excellent classroom project for students of all ages. Sending correspondence is so much fun because you can write letters the old fashioned way or create your own letterhead using your computer. You can even insert photos & seasonal graphics into the body of your letters.  Keep all correspondence upbeat and positive and begin letters with "Dear Service Member" rather than specifying a branch. if you'd like a possible reply, include your return mailing address and email address below your signature. 

Tablecloth Banners

Take a vinyl table cloth and have kids write messages of support to the troops and sign their names. They can draw; add smiley faces and hearts too. Let them get creative. Adults will want to help with the banner’s title. We suggest something like “We Support You” or “We Love Our Troops”, etc.

Valentine's From The Heart

Kids can make their own Valentine's cards for our troops! Kids have the greatest and most creative ideas.  Try stamping or using scrap booking items to create fantastic unique cards home made by you. Another idea is to buy kid's packs of Valentine cards and let them fill them out. Get your children's classrooms or schools involved. This is a great class project and the student drawings and cards can be shipped to us for distribution to our troops.
