Celebrating Pi Day with Activities
Many homeschoolers and math enthusiasts alike enjoy celebrating March 14th — which is also known as Pi Day.
If you are looking for fun Pi Day activities to do with your kiddos, you likely already know that 3.14 represents the first 3 digits of pi and since March is the third month of the year, Pi Day is always celebrated on the 14th of that month.
With that said, I recently learned that Pi Day (or March 14th) also happens to be Albert Einstiein’s birthday — a fascinating fact I found in this article.
While I’ve never been a huge math fanatic, my husband and my older boys all love Pi Day!
From sharing memes to seeing who can memorize the most digits, this time of year is definitely for the math buffs like them!
With that said, I love a good excuse for a celebration and Pi(E) Day is something I can totally get behind, haha!
One of the greater joys of being a homeschool family is having the luxury of taking days off to celebrate birthdays, having extended breaks over the holiday season, and taking time off to celebrate anything and everything — including pi.
If throwing a party for Pi Day is your jam, consider baking a real pie for this fun occasion, using some of these fun PIE-themed party printables & recipes via Play Party Plan, creating this awesome Pi Day paper chain via Red Ted Art, then end your festivities with this cute Pi day pinata via Celebration Generation.
