At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
Hug Day is celebrated in the USA as National Hugging Day.
Hug Day is celebrated by all kinds of people.
Hug Day was first celebrated on January 21, 1986.
This day was first started by Kevin Zaborney, a pastor from the USA.
National Hugging Day was first celebrated in 1986 and was started by Kevin Zaborney. It was first celebrated in Michigan, USA. It is said that Zaborney chose January 21 as the date of National Hugging Day since it happens to fall between Christmas, New Year, and Valentine's Day when people were observed to be at their lowest spirits. He wanted this day to change the popular belief that American society is embarrassed about showcasing their feelings in public and to give hugs as a gift to their loved ones.
Hug Day can be celebrated by giving your loved ones and friends a warm and tight hug. One can spend the day with their family and friends and hug them to lift their spirits and to make them feel special.
One of the best ways to celebrate Hug Day is by hugging your friends, family, and even strangers in your neighborhood. Meet people and spread love. One can also spread awareness on the importance of hugs and being hugged.
Its significance lies in encouraging friends and family to hug more often.
