International Read To Me Day, celebrated every March 19 across the world, is a day that focuses on the importance of reading books to children. Whether it’s for 10 minutes a day, or an hour, reading to children really helps in developing their imagination, their knowledge, and their ability to read even before they join the school. This activity is essential since several countries across the world have a low literacy rate. Children in these nations are also taught to read at a later stage in life, hence, their interest in education is affected. If you want to live in an educated world, spread the message and start reading to your children every day.
National Children’s Craft Day
National Children’s Craft Day is celebrated on March 14 every year. This holiday, part of the larger National Craft Month, was tailored to introduce children to the vibrant world of crafting and to encourage them to try their hand at it. Crafting is an incredibly useful hobby to have. Not only is it a fun way for kids to occupy their time, but it also aids in their cognitive and motor development. For younger children, crafting can help develop critical thinking. For older tweens and teens, it supports the development of creativity, patience, and even self-esteem.
National Johnny Appleseed Day
National Johnny Appleseed Day falls on March 11 every year. The occasion honors the life of American conservationist and nurseryman John Chapman, better known as Johnny Appleseed. Appleseed was a folk hero who was instrumental in introducing apple trees to large parts of the United States. His story has been mythologized commonly as a children’s folk tale, with many questioning whether he existed or not. He did, though, and he is revered as a figure who helped alter America’s natural and agricultural landscape with his apple tree fields.
