8 Unique Spring Holidays To Celebrate With Your Family

March 14 – Pi Day

Every math lover and aspiring mathematician loves Pi Day. The number pi (3.14….) gives us a reason to eat delicious dessert on this day.

March 20 – Ravioli Day and 1st Day of Spring

March 23 – National Puppy Day

If you have the world’s best dog, make sure you take this day to show them how much you love them. Treat your pup to something special or take them to their favorite park. If you don’t have a puppy, but love them all the same, visit a shelter or pet shop and get some cuddles in. In the middle of homework and housework, find some time to get distracted by man’s best friend.

April 4 – National Walking Day (1st Wednesday of April)

What a good day to go for a walk! Maybe after dinner or sometime shortly before, grab your family or friends and take a walk together. This day was started in 2007 by the American Heart Association to encourage healthier lifestyles for all. Going for a walk is a great way to celebrate this little holiday, but it’s also a great excuse to get your family away from screens and distractions. Enjoy the time together, and find more ways to celebrate the day here.

April 8 – National Zoo Lover’s Day

It’s almost zoo season! You may live in an area where zoos operate year-round, but if you’re anywhere with harsh winters, you know that spring brings so many more outdoor activities! Most zoos should be open by this date, so take a day to see some magnificent creatures.

April 12 – National Grilled Cheese Day

What an amazing holiday – Grilled Cheese Day. Who doesn’t love grilled cheese? This would be a great day to invite friends over and have a big, themed dinner party. Gather lots of different types of breads, cheeses, and toppings and set up a sandwich bar for your guests. Or make a variety of these above-average grilled cheese sandwiches and cut them into small portions for lots of tasting. Add some soup and you have a perfect evening ahead.

April 23 – Picnic Day

If you’ve been looking for an excuse to eat outside, here it is! Picnic Day is on a Monday, so take this opportunity to shake up your routine. Grab some takeout or make a simple dinner to eat at a park. You can make it really easy and move dinner to a blanket in your backyard. Your family and friends will love the change of scenery, and it will make for an unusually special Monday night.

April 27- Tell a Story Day

Here is a day for all hopeful writers and book-lovers! If you have little ones who devour stories and create them with the same vigor, take this day to explore their passion. You can find blank books at your local art supply store or online, and your little ones can create their own story.

This day is not just for kids, though. Adults, if you love to write, try your hand at a short story on this day. Write down an original idea that’s been in your head, or try a few of these story prompts for more inspiration. Even if you’re just reading or telling a story from memory, take the day to celebrate the power of imagination!

There are so many reasons to celebrate life this spring. Take these small holidays and make the most of your days. Get out of routine, enjoy your family and friends, and celebrate the simple things in life.
