3. Popcorn Day
Jan. 19
We're popping with excitement for Popcorn Day! It's a great excuse to enjoy some popcorn at home! Don't forget to add your favorite toppings.
4. National Puzzle Day
Jan. 29
Get your family a brand new puzzle from Zen's Toyland, and spend the evening putting together a puzzle together. It's about so much more than a puzzle though: We find putting together puzzles with our kids is a wonderful way to work cooperatively, problem-solve as a family, and enjoy great conversations with our kids that naturally flow as time passes.
5. National Hot Chocolate Day
Jan. 31
If your kids are like ours, hot chocolate is the ultimate in a hot beverage. Take them to Pan'e Dolcetti to indulge in the best hot chocolate we have found in {Town}!
