Get Tri-Valley Kids Involved on President’s Day

This coming Monday is Presidents Day, also known as Washington’s Birthday.  It is interesting to learn about the history behind why multiple names exist for this holiday.  The official federal holiday is celebrated on the third Monday of February. My wife was thinking about some ways to ramp up our celebration of this day with our kinder and third-grader, making this day more than just a day off of school for them.  I thought I would share a few of her ideas:

• Bake a cake together for Washington’s Birthday. She was thinking of a box cake mix with an American flag in frosting and just possibly berries or sprinkles, but check out this blog’s intense listing of presidentially-inspired desserts.
• Visit the Whitehouse’s site for kids. This is an informative site with loads of information. Her best bets for kid appeal are the following: the White House/Presidents, the White House/First Ladies, Photos & Videos (especially Photo Galleries (there’s a real cute one of Bo in the snow!), and the White House/Air Force One.
• Peruse the website for George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate & Gardens, especially under the Learn tab. There are some very cool facts and photos for the kids to view, as well as just plain fun games and puzzles under Washington’s World for Kids.
