How to Celebrate March’s National Days With Your Kids

We post a lot about national days on social media, and now we are going to tell you how we celebrate them! There are so many fun national days you can celebrate with your family… some of them we don’t post about, but may still be special to you. Here are our favorite national days in March and how you and your family can celebrate them.

1. Peanut Butter Lover’s Day (March 1st)

Fall in love all over again, with some peanut butter or a brand new peanut butter combination. Indulge in classics, like peanut butter and apples. Try something new, like noodles and peanut butter, pickles and peanut butter, or peanut butter and bacon. Sweet tooth? Make some peanut butter cookies! Don’t forget to use #PeanutButterLoversDay to post on social media.

2. Read Across America Day (March 2nd)

To celebrate today, simply pick up an interesting book and read it! More importantly, read with a child, and encourage them to do some reading of their own (if they’re old enough)! If you’re feeling a little extra festive, pick up a Dr.Seuss classic, and introduce your child to the crazy world of “Star Bellied Sneetches” and the “Foona-Lagoona Baboona” Use #ReadAcrossAmericaDay or #DrSeussDay to post on social media.

3. #SoupItForward Day (March 3rd)

Soup Sisters founded National Soup it Forward Day to encourage everyone to make a difference in each other’s lives through the warm, healing kindness of sharing a bowl of soup. To celebrate today, make up your favorite soup and deliver it to someone you know who could use the warmth of kindness in their life. Use #HugInABowl and #SoupItForwardDay to share on social media.

4. Plant a Flower Day (March 12th)

Celebrate today by planting a flower, or start with a potted garden! Select plants that grow well in your area. Check local greenhouses and big box stores like Lowe’s and Home Depot. Don’t be afraid to ask them questions! Let’s all work together by planting a flower and helping make the world a more beautiful place. Use #PlantAFlowerDay to post on social media.

5. Pi Day (March 14th)

Calling all math nerds, this one’s for you! National Pi Day on March 14th recognizes the mathematical constant π. Also known as pi, the first three and most recognized digits are 3.14. The day is celebrated by pi enthusiasts and pie lovers alike! Celebrate the day with a slice of a pie (cut using the mathematical constant of pi). Use #NationalPiDay to post on social media.

7. National Puppy Day (March 23rd)

It’s hard to beat this holiday! Observed each year on March 23rd, National Puppy Day celebrates the unconditional love and affection puppies bring to our lives.
