Happy Groundhog Day!

Happy Groundhog Day everyone! Unfortunately, once again, Punxsutawney Phil is predicting another six weeks of winter for us. But let's celebrate the fun holiday that is Groundhog Day anyway! Here are some fun, frugal ideas to get you started:

Go outside and run around and stomp your feet to try to wake up the groundhog.

Starting today, make a weather graph to see what really happens.

Turn on certain lights in the room or go outside and look for shadows.

On a calendar, count how many days there are until the first day of Spring.

Use a lamp and paper and trace peoples' shadows.

Make groundhogs out of brown play dough.

Make a groundhog puppet using a lunch-size paper bag.

Use a paper plate to make a groundhog mask.

Try playing Shadow Tag with a group of friends.

Pretend to be a groundhog by climbing in a large box. Pop out and see if you can find your shadow.

However you decide to celebrate, hope it's a great one! Happy Groundhog Day!
