It's April 1st...
Happy April Fools Day. Maybe yesterday's snow storm in Minnesota was Mother Nature's April Fools prank on us... Let's hope it was her last one of the year. April Fools Day is one of the most light hearted days of the year. Its origins are uncertain. Some see it as a celebration related to the turn of the seasons, while others believe it stems from the adoption of a new calendar. Over the years, there have been many great pranks perpetrated on this day. I have certainly learned to proceed with caution with anything I am told today.
Looking for ways to celebrate with the children? April Fools Day is not often given a lot of attention with children, but this can be a fun day with the children in your care.
- Check out Family Fun for some good pranks and gags and food ideas to share with your children.
- Preschool Express has some fun April 1st activities and games.
- Even more fun stuff at the Love To Learn Place.
So have fun today, but don't get fooled too badly!
