Ideas for Kids for Military Welcoming Signs

A thoughtful way to welcome your military loved one home after a duty assignment or deployment is with a sign or banner. Getting the kids involved makes it more special for the returning service member, and also helps the kids to feel like they are contributing to the homecoming(black homecoming dress).
Kids can make signs from poster board, foam board, bed sheets, shower curtains, plywood or sheets of paper strung together in a garland. Even a car window can be the backdrop for a message with washable car window paint. Make sure the material you purchase or recycle for the sign itself is appropriate for where it will be displayed. Outdoor signs need to be sturdy enough to withstand wind, and if rain is in the forecast, consider using fabric, such as a sheet. If the kids will be standing in a crowd of families, be considerate of others and don't make the sign enormous.
Paint, markers, glitter, construction paper cut-outs, feathers, beads and dry pasta may all make for a fun, cheerful sign. Remember that the materials you use can personalize a sign just as much as the sign's wording. A sign for a pilot's homecoming(black homecoming dress) could contain feathers or origami birds. A civil engineer's sign could include pieces of plastic pipe to spell out words. You also may photograph the kids and add the pictures to the sign. For example, take a picture of your son in his superhero costume and add it to a sign bearing the slogan, "My dad is a hero!" Closely supervise young children who are using scissors, glue, paint or other potentially dangerous materials.
Less may be more when it comes to your sign's message. You want it to be easily read from a distance, so a few words are better than a paragraph. Messages like "Welcome Home, Mom," "We Missed You, Dad" and "Ben: World's Best Uncle" are short but meaningful. Avoid using ranks and full names on signs in a public setting for security reasons; stick to first names and family relationship.
Your kids can make multiple signs or banners for display. Your loved one's military unit may have an official homecoming ceremony where your kids can show off their handiwork. Your family's reunion may be in a public setting such as an airport. You might put a wooden sign on a stake in your front yard. You may hang a banner garland in your living room. Wherever the sign is, the fact that the kids made it should make the homecoming that much sweeter.

Put brightly colored buckets or pails in the center of each table and fill them with munchies. Play a tropical music mix and enjoy some fun in the "sun."
Go over the rainbow with a Wizard of Oz homecoming(black homecoming dress) theme. Paint a giant rainbow on white paper and use it to decorate a wall. You can also create a rainbow with streamers of different colors. Roll out the yellow brick road using yellow paper or a yellow painting tarp.
