England Activities for Kids
Our favorite way to start a cultural unit is with our activities bundles offered in our Etsy shop.
In the England activity bundle, you’ll find all you need to give your child a good overview of England, starting off with our England At a Glance sheet, which provides an overview of some of the important features of England (there’s also a review sheet that your child can complete at the end of the unit to see what they’ve learned).
The bundle includes fun activities for kids like our word search, matching game, and I Spy worksheet.
I included two versions of the printables, one with the flag of England and one with the flag of the United Kingdom, so that you can adjust depending on which flag you want to focus on.
There’s also a flag craft for both the flag of England and the flag of the United Kingdom where kids can make their own miniature flags.
England Crafts for Kids
King’s Guard Puppet Craft
Let’s just into our crafts! First of all, we have these super cute King’s Guard puppet craft.
The King’s Guard, known for their iconic red tunics and bearskin hats, stand as stoic and ceremonial guardians outside royal residences, symbolizing the dedication and tradition associated with the British monarchy.
This is one of those immediately recognizable symbols that people think of when they picture England. When you make this puppet set, you have the chance to talk about what they guard’s symbolize and even have your own little changing of the guards reenactment.
Big Ben 3D craft
One of the most iconic landmarks of England is Big Ben, the famous clock tower in London.
Now you can make your own 3D Big Ben Craft with our easy-to-use template.
This is a really fun craft that leaves kids with their own standing version of this beloved symbol of England.
Celery Stamp Roses
The rose is the national flower of England, so it felt only fitting to include a rose craft in this England cultural unit.
And this celery stamp rose craft is absolutely adorable! The roses are formed using celery stamping and the leaves can be made with the child’s fingerprint in paint.
In the end you’re left with a really lovely art project that you can proudly gift or display.
Lion Paper Plate Craft
Although lions are not native to England, they are in fact the national animal.
The lion has long been used in heraldry and as a symbol of the royal family, representing strength, courage, and majesty.
As such, we’ve included this paper plate lion craft as one of our crafts for our England cultural unit for kids.
Use our free template to make a lion craft that is both cute and fearsome!
London City Skyline Watercolor Craft
For a fun England-themed art project, paint the London skyline with this city skyline watercolor craft for kids.
Just download our free printable, print it on cardstock paper, and set to work creating a beautiful sky for your London skyline.
I love this craft because there’s really no prep work and you can just set kids loose to express their creativity. It’s fun to see what they come up with when their city skylines are complete!
