These printable soldier templates come in a range of uniforms and poses, ready to colour in and cut out. They're great for army-themed crafts and imaginative play, and they're a thoughtful way for children to mark days that honour the people who serve. Pick a soldier below and print the full-size image.
A thank-you for those who serve
Soldier templates are perfect for appreciation days like Veterans Day, Memorial Day, Armed Forces Day and Remembrance Day. Children can turn one into a card to say thank you to a serving family member or a local veteran. In the UK and Commonwealth, pair a soldier with a poppy for a Remembrance Day display.
Craft and play ideas
- Colour the uniforms in different colours and styles
- Cut out a row of soldiers for an army-themed birthday party banner
- Use the figures in small-world play and dioramas
- Make a classroom display for a history or community lesson
- Turn a soldier into a stick puppet with a craft stick on the back
The clear outlines make these easy for children to cut out, so the activity doubles as fine-motor practice.
