Grab Your Green and Go Irish with Reebok



St. Patrick's Day is celebrated all over the world (St. Patty's Day is celebrated on the space station as well!) and everyone chooses to celebrate this green holiday quite differently — while some are running from pub to pub, others are out racing green across finish lines.
According to RunningInTheUSA.com, there are 497 St. Patrick's Day themed races to be run across the country this year




Whether you're running in one of the many Shamrock Shuffles, Leprechaun Leaps or Green Legs and Hamstrings (I promise that is a real event name) races this St. Patrick's Day, Reebok is ready to dress you in the latest emerald isle colored sport/active wear! Snag a new pair of flashy lime running shoes, or maybe a new kelly green tee and show off some Irish pride as you streak green across that finish line!

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day Around the World



Learn all about the many St. Patty's Day Celebrations Around The World
Sponsored by Little Passports


Did you know that...

St. Patrick's Day began as a holiday in honor a man named St. Patrick who did great work in Ireland during the late 5th Century. Throughout the years, St. Patrick's Day has become more of a day to simply celebrate being Irish. Traditional symbols of the holiday include shamrocks, Leprechauns, and of course, wearing the color green!

Take a look at Sam and Sofia's St. Patty's Day outfits!!

Are you wearing GREEN?? 
Post a photo of you and/your children in your St Patty's day green on our Facebook Page!



Across the world, people who want to celebrate head to parades and events whether they're really "Irish" or not. Little Passports (A monthly children's subscription service that teaches your kids about different states in the USA and new countries around the world) has shared some of the special festivities planned in each of these countries.


Australia
In Brisbane, the St. Patrick's Day celebrations last for ten days and include a parade, Irish dancing, dinners, boxing matches, as well as a Family Sports Day which includes Gaelic Football and other Gaelic sports!

Japan
In Tokyo, over 1,000 people wearing green will take part in their parade this year. They also host an International Collegiate Festival with workshops where you can learn Irish dance, play Irish music, and enjoy a full day of concerts!

Ireland
Dublin hosts a giant four day festival featuring a parade with marching bands from all over the world. They also hold a fair with carousels, roller coasters and Ferris wheels and an Enchanted Banquet which includes a "curious evening" with plenty of erish fables, fairy tales and folklore. The festivities begin with famous buildings like the Blarney Castle, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and the Bank of Ireland being lit green!

United States
The United States hosts St. Patrick's Day parades in over 100 cities. One of the biggest is in the city of Chicago, who famously dyes its river green for the day! After the huge parade which draws thousands of people, you can head to the St. Patrick’s Day Festival at the Irish American Heritage Center and listen to Irish music, dance, and of course eat good old Irish food and drinks!

It's Saint Patrick’s Day

Photo of St. Patrick from www.biography.com

Saint Patrick’s Day is known to be associated with everything Irish: anything green, gold, shamrocks as well as luck. Most importantly, to those who celebrate its intended meaning: a traditional day for spiritual renewal and offering prayers for missionaries worldwide.

Why is Saint Patrick's Day celebrated on March 17th?

There are a few different stories about why Saint Patrick's Day lands on March 17th. One theory is that that is the day that St. Patrick died. Since the holiday began in Ireland, it is believed that as the Irish spread out around the world, they took with them their history and celebrations. The biggest observance of all is, of course, in Ireland. With the exception of restaurants and pubs, almost all businesses close on March 17th. Being a religious holiday as well, many Irish attend mass, where March 17th is the traditional day for offering prayers for missionaries worldwide before the serious celebrating begins.

In America, St. Patrick’s Day is a big deal. Big cities as well as small towns celebrate with parades, wearing the color green, music and songs, Irish food and drinks, and activities for kids such as: crafts, coloring and games. Some communities take things to the extremes and dye their rivers and/or streams GREEN!
(I know, crazy right? I bet it looks awesome though!)

How's Your Family Celebrating Black History Month?

Little Passports is all about empowering your whole family to know everything there is to know about this big world of ours and the incredible culture intertwined into each generation.


Little Passports
Black History Month Info

February is Black History Month, an opportunity to talk with children about race and civil rights, as well as the heritage, accomplishments, and culture of African Americans.
Join Sam and Sofia as they explore these 3 ways to celebrate and learn!


1. Read a Book

Spark a conversation by reading children’s books that highlight our nation’s African American heroes and their achievements. Here are a few inspiring selections:



Martin’s Big Words: The Life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., By Doreen Rappaport
An introduction to Dr. King’s life and message, this picture book pairs age-appropriate educational material with beautiful images.

The Story of Ruby Bridges, By Robert Coles
The inspiring story of a courageous 6-year old girl who helped shape US history by being the first African American child to go to an all-white school.

We Are the Ship: The Story of Negro League Baseball, By Kadir Nelson
This gorgeously illustrated book tells the story of the African American baseball league and the challenges they overcame to pursue their passion.



2. Play a Game
DIY Activity: It’s easy to make your own Mancala board! Simply get an empty egg carton with 12 small “pits,” trim off the sides, and decorate it with markers or paint. Get two containers (such as bowls) and place one at each end of the egg carton as the “banks,” where players collect their winnings. For the “stones,” you can use small items, such as marbles, beans, or even candy! For detailed rules on how to play, click here: How to Play Mancala




3. Take a Trip
Visit a landmark, attraction, or museum, celebrating black history. An interactive and engaging field trip is a great way to capture a child’s interest! Here are some ideas:
• Booker T. Washington National Monument (Franklin County, Virginia)
• Tuskegee Airmen National Museum (Detroit, MI)
• Pride and Passion: The African-American Baseball Experience (Permanent exhibition at the Baseball Hall of Fame, Cooperstown, NY)
For more hands-on activities celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr., check out the Little Passports Pinterest board.

Save BIG on Everyday Kids Snacks After Valentines Day!


°° Valentine Snacking °°


During the week that follows any Holiday, most stores start putting the left over holiday merchandise on clearance. During theses events you can save alot of money if you know what to buy and what to leave on the shelves.
You may have noticed that some of the selections for kids to pass out were a bit different than what we're use too.



While shopping at Target this past Monday, I was able to find a few different kinds of Valentines that make wonderful mid-day snacks for my girls. What I was able to find were 2 different flavors of Gold Fish Valentines packs (Extreme Cheddar & Vanilla Cupcake), Cinnamon Covered Cereal Valentine Packs as well as Tutti Frutti Flavored Kettle Corn Valentines packs. All packaged into individual packs, for passing out in classrooms.

But just because the packs say "Happy Valentine's Day" don't mean that they have to be used for strictly that purpose... They're the perfect size for kids to snack on anytime - any day!
These bags originally run between $3.99 - $6.99 before Valentine's Day — During the After Valentine's Day Clearance Sales prices can reach as low as 75% off or more, which makes prices as low as $1.50!! Possibly even lower!


** I was also able to find Valentines cupcake kits and granola bars that were on clearance for under $2! Not to mention the candy prices are amazingly low!**

Don't miss out on this amazing savings opportunity!!!
Snatch up some of these amazing Valentine deals before they're all gone!!
To find the snacks mentioned above - Visit Target.com - Other retailers may have similar and/or different selections.
