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.
It is celebrated on cultural platforms between the U.S. and Mexico.

National Poinsettia Day was first seen in 2002.
It was started by the House Of Representatives of the U.S. and Mexico.
Wild Poinsettias thrive on pacific facing slopes from Mexico to Guatemala's south. Many Poinsettias are grown at Paul Ecke Farm. One old folk tale speaks of a poor girl, Pepita, who got devastated because she could not afford to buy baby Jesus for Christmas. When the angel sees her eyes, she asks her to pick some weeds lying down. When she cries, those weeds turn into gorgeous red blooms.
People do exchange Poinsettia plants as a lovely gesture as it is the day of Poinsettias' death anniversary. This tradition is spreading to Europe too.
On that day, go to the nursery and take some seeds or Poinsettias (flowers), including Poinsetta, for your Christmas season wreath.
National Poinsettia day is known to be celebrated on December 12 as it is the death anniversary of Poinsettia.
These are annuals, and Poinsettias were used to treat fever in the olden days.
It is the day of remembering the famous American Botanist Joel Rober Poinsett.
Members of Congress in both Mexico and the U.S. were encouraged to celebrate this day to honor Paul Ecke Jr.
