Ways to Celebrate November 19 - 25th

We love to celebrate life at Kaleidoscape Play Studio and one way we have been doing that is to post the upcoming week's random holidays. In order to truly celebrate them, we feel a little more notice might be needed on your end AND... perhaps some suggestions. We know life if busy with finding mates to socks, figuring out what's for dinner (those kids like to eat every single day!), and just fulfiling your purpose in life - whatever that may be.

So, we've taken next week's list of wacky holidays and searched out fun ways to celebrate them. <3

 

 

Monday

Kick of the week by headed over to any Don Jose's in Alaska for Mustache Monday! If you live in Anchorage, you can meet us at 6pm for dinner and if you wear a mustache... you get 10% off! This applies all day and statewide. Just tell them Kaleidoscape Play Studio sent you!

 

Tuesday the 20thUniversal Children's Day is a real day! Even Wikipedia says so! (giggling) This day is filled with history and meaning, but we feel it's a day to really celebrate and appreciate the kids in your life. You know them best, but these are some sure fire ways to make them feel loved.

 

• Wake them up in a special way today. Confetti and a sign is our suggestion!
• Let them pick the dinner place today. Buck up if it's Chuck E. Cheese, or some equally obnoxious place; it's one day.
• Do something silly just for them... have a nerf gun war, have a dance party, wear mustaches to dinner, paint with your feet, etc.
• Don't underestimate the power of your undivided attention. Children crave attention, so whether you snuggle, read them a book, play a game or just goof off, this is a #1 way to celebrate your kids.

Wednesday the 21st

World Hello Day It’s the perfect excuse to make your office, school or bus journey a little bit friendlier and you can join in simply by greeting ten people. If you wanted to take it a step further, you could make little Hello cards and hand them out or learn to say hello in diferent languages.

 

Thursday the 22ndTwo ways to celebrate in one. It's obviously Thanksgiving, but also Go For a Ride Day! Will you go for a ride to Grandma's for dinner? Ride your bike? Take your dog for a ride? (Ours loves that!) After dinner, celebrate by whizzing by as the wind blows in your hair. Get up, get out and go for a ride!

 

Friday the 23rd

You're Welcome Day! We think it only makes sense to have a You’re Welcome Day after a day of Thanksgiving! You’re welcome is a polite way to respond to thanks and implies that the other person is welcome to request additional favors.  This is a great way to practice manners!

 

 

Saturday the 25th
Yummy... National Parfait Day! Did you know that the word "parfait" means "perfect" in French? It’s no wonder that this dish makes a perfect snack, meal, or dessert! American parfaits are made by layering ice cream or yogurt with granola, nuts, yogurt, fresh fruits, and whip cream. Whip up your own version to celebrate National Parfait Day!



Mustache Monday Explained!

It is possible that you may have noticed on our Facebook page that we have an awful lot of silly mustache photos and particularly on a certain day of the week. You may be wondering, "What's with all the mustaches?!"

Allow me a moment to explain.

By nature, I am attracted to all this silly and I love to laugh. I all love alliteration, so when the concept of Kaleidoscape Play Studio was created (<<< example of alliteration) the idea of Mustache Monday was born. I just think it's so splendid to see all these people donning handlebars for the sake of silliness. (<<< another example of alliteration)

That's pretty much it. Turns out, there isn't a mystery or an obsession with facial hair... just one person making a difference in her corner of the world. <3
