Happy January 2023! The whole year stretches ahead of us, with so much possibility! Have you made resolutions this year? We want to celebrate more silly with our kids... so on that note, here are five not-so-serious "holidays" happening this month that you can celebrate around town with your kids
1. Howl at the full moon
Jan. 6
January's full moon is called the Wolf Moon. The full Moon will reach peak illumination at 6:08 P.M. EST on Jan. 6. Get the kids outside and HOWL! Want to know more about the stars we can see in our night sky? Pay a visit to the Charles Hayden Planetarium in Boston to really engage your kids' interest in space!
2. Dress Up Your Pet Day
Jan. 14
Dress up your dog, goat, guinea pig, or cat. Pets aren't cooperative? Paint your kids' faces as their favorite animals. We want to see! Tag Macaroni KID {Town} on Instagram if you post a picture of Dress Up Your Pet Day!
3. Popcorn Day
Jan. 19
We're popping with excitement for Popcorn Day! Check out these Popcorn Treats Your Family Will Love.
4. National Puzzle Day
Jan. 29
Get your family a brand new puzzle from Learning Express, and spend the evening putting together a puzzle together. It's about so much more than a puzzle though: We find putting together puzzles with our kids is a wonderful way to work cooperatively, problem-solve as a family, and enjoy great conversations with our kids that naturally flow as time passes.
5. National Hot Chocolate Day
Jan. 31
If your kids are like ours, hot chocolate is the ultimate in a hot beverage. Take them to Acton Coffee House to indulge in the best hot chocolate we have found in Acton!
