February Holidays, From Traditional to Borderline Ridiculous

Spice up your homeschool by incorporating a few of these fun celebrations into the month of February. Some of these holidays are borderline ridiculous, but that's what makes them so much fun! Select a handful of days to work a lesser known holiday into your lesson plans to keep the curriuculum fun and interesting. Perhaps learn how a vacuum works on the 4th, eat tortilla chips on the 24th, and love on a grouch on the 16th! Use your imagination and have fun. :)
