What is Groundhog’s Day? It’s a traditional holiday celebrated on February 2 where According to folklore, if it is cloudy when a he emerges from its burrow on this day, then spring will come early; if it is sunny, then he will supposedly see its shadow and retreat back into its burrow, and the winter weather will persist for six more weeks.

Very cute! My kids will love doing these. Thanks for all of the great ideas!
I’m totally pinning this for next year. I might actually make a big to-do about the holiday if it has these cute things!
Those cupcakes are adorable. I live in PA and Phil is all the rage. Such cute ideas here.
First thing I did this morning was see if he saw his shadow or not! Now we wait for “Balzac Billy” to see what Alberta is in store for.
I totally forgot about GroundHog Day. Now I have to definitely think of something to do with my 4yr old and you just showed me a few things. Thank you.
Oh yay! I forgot about Groundhogs Day so now I have something to look forward too! And my kids are randomly off school for it so we’ll have to make a big to do over it.
I always forget about Groundhogs Day! But these are too fun, why not celebrate!
Oh my gosh, I totally forgot about Groundhog day! I Love all of these fun things 🙂
Aw, I love these! Pinning for later! I have never considered crafting for or celebrating Groundhog Day. How fun!!
Oh what fun activities!! I can’t remember if I’ve ever really told my little ones about groundhog day. This will be a fun way to celebrate this year!
I am in love with that lil’ finger puppet. He is so cute. The decoration on the Groundhog Cupcake is also really cute.

these are all so terrific. I feel inspired to do more for Tuesday’s homeschool now. I especially love the flip picture and the Chubby Cheek pancakes. nice roundup, ?
All these activities sound super fun and interesting! Saving them for Grounhog day!
Such a cute post. In my experience, there is always more winter. Boo.
Ha those cute little groundhog pancakes. I’d love to make those for the littles. 🙂
This might sound like a silly question but what is Groundshog day? It looks like there are some fun activities here to try out.

What a great resource for activities. I’m sharing this with teacher friends. Thanks.
Cannot believe Groundhog Day is so close and I love your ideas. I will be taking your ideas to entertain my niece while I babysit. The more to entertain, the easier it is to babysit 🙂
Who knew there are so many fun Groundhog’s Day activities? Those cupcakes and pancakes are adorable. I wouldn’t mind some winter or cooler weather down here in FL.
these are ideas are so cute for groundhogs day! I love the pancakes – my daughter would love that!
I haven’t even THOUGHT of groundhog day, and goodness knows I love something to celebrate! Those adorable cupcakes will be perfect for my crew!
I had no idea there were so many cute things to do for groundhogs day. Those cupcakes are seriously cute!
The cupcakes and cookies are so cute! I would definitely eat them up 🙂
These are such cute ideas! The cupcakes look like so much fun!
Such fun! I love the shapes and characters and how you’ve connected them all! Must try some!
I never thought of groundhog day fun but you have inspired me. I need to learn more about them since I do live in PA, home of Phil!
How fun is this? I love the pancake idea! My kids would love it. 🙂
Those cookies are too cute! I know up north is getting hit with some serious snow, but down here an early spring means an especially brutal summer, so I wouldn’t mind 6 more weeks of crisp temperatures and low a/c bills!
What a fun post!! Those pancakes are so cute! This holiday is so overlooked and this post is such a great reminder of how fun it can be!
That cupcake is adorable! Maybe I will attempt it with me son.
Oh my those Groundhog pancakes are too cute. I miss doing these kinds of activities with my son.
I love those cupcakes. They are so cute and adorable. But all are great projects to plan fun with the kids.
