I’ve learned that when the atrium’s squeezing becomes irregular, blood doesn’t flow as smoothly through the heart and clots can form. Those clots can travel to the brain, disrupting the oxygen supply and causing a stroke. People with AFib are at approximately 5 times greater risk for stroke than those with regular heartbeats. Stroke is a leading cause of death and also of serious, long-term disability. It is essential to get to a hospital quickly if you suspect a stroke in yourself or others.Learn the acronym FAST to recognize the signs of stroke: 

F = Face. Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

A = Arms. Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? 

S = Speech. Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is the speech slurred or strange?

T= Time. If you see any of these signs, call 9-1-1 right away.

Holiday DIY: Memorial Day Hands On Flag Craft


Memorial Day Hands On Flag CraftMay brings many things with it such as warmer weather, longer days, and of course Mother’s Day. But the arrival of May also brings some patriotism with it with the arrival of Memorial Day! Memorial Day is a great time to gather the kiddos and get crafting as you talk about all of the things, people, and events that make this country great! This year, get the kids to be hands on, literally, with this nifty and fun Memorial Day Flag Craft! This flag is not only a blast for kids to make, but it is simple and thrifty too!

To make your own Memorial Day Hands On Flag, take a peek below. The materials are easy to come by and the directions are a cinch. Plus, it give the kids a chance to get a little dirty which they love. So take a look and see how you can whip one of these flags up for this year’s Memorial Day celebrations!

Memorial Day Hands On Flag:

Materials:
1 large poster board
Finger paints in red and blue
Paint brush
Pencil
Plastic tablecloth
Baby wipes

Easy right? Head to your local Dollar Tree if you have one, where poster board is only .50 cents a piece and finger paint trays that actually fit to your child’s hands and feet are only $1.00 each.

Memorial Day Hands On Flag Craft

Directions:
1. Lay out your tablecloth for easy clean up and to protect your floors. If it is a nice day out, you can just take this activity outside!
2. Use your pencil to lightly mark off the box of stars on the flag and the lines. You won’t be able to make an accurate depiction of the flag since the poster board is small, but it will still look great!
3. Have the kids first dip their hands in blue. This will make their stars. Have them put some prints in the star box to the upper left. Whatever you can fit is fine and will depend on the size of your child’s hand.
4. Next, dip their feet in red and make your red “stripes” running across the length of the poster. These don’t have to be perfectly straight. Just have fun!
5. Use your baby wipes for easy clean up on hands and feet.
6. When you are done you will have your red, white, and blue Memorial Day flag décor ready to display! Allow it to dry well before hanging.

Happy Memorial Day!
