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.
Twins in the USA celebrate National Twin Day, thus enjoying the uniqueness of each twin on December 18.
This day is celebrated by twins all across the world.
National Twin Day is celebrated on December 18 every year as declared by the National Day Calendar.
National Twin Day was first initiated by the citizens of Twinsburg, a town in the USA. It was based on a concept created by Diersing Sage Hiller and Ari Hiller.
You will find examples of twins throughout mythology, as well as the Bible. From the competitiveness of the sons of Jacob, to Aphrodite’s twin sons Phobos and Deimos, twins have always been a part of popular culture, including the mortal and immortal twins of the constellation, Gemini.
Twins interact with each other while they are two babies in the womb. Did you know that twins enjoy what's called twin memory? On this day, events are held in Twinsburg town in the USA. Twins from across the world head to this town to take part in the celebrations of National Twin Day. Twins can have different patterns to their personality, but their unique bonding helps them guess the other's unspoken words even before they are said. Twins are also known to create their own language that only they can understand; this is known as cryptophasia. This day celebrates this unique aspect as well.
Spend time with your twin or any twin you are friends with. Learn about the different things that they have learned about being twins.
You can also post pictures with your twin on social media using the relevant hashtags. If you do not have a twin, then you can also post pictures of your friends or family members who have twin siblings.
Another fun way to celebrate this day is by watching 'The Big Bang Theory' to check out its hilarious identical twin siblings, Sheldon Cooper and Missy Cooper.
Literature has embraced twin duplicity with great enthusiasm. You can read stories and novels focused on biological twins.
National Twin Day is celebrated every year on December 18 when twins from across the world head to the U.S. for celebrations.
National Twin Day was declared by The National Day Calendar in 2019.
Twins from all countries, along with their loved ones, celebrate this day by enjoying the uniqueness of each twin on this day.
National Twin Day is celebrated every year on December 18 as declared by The National Day Calendar.
National Twin Day is a day to celebrate the special bond between twins, whether identical (monozygotic) or fraternal (dizygotic). This day aims to create awareness across the world on the different phenomena that twins experience during their lives.
Twins are siblings who share the same parents and the same birthday. On December 18, this day is aimed at celebrating their bond.
In 1819, Moses and Aaron Wilcox, a pair of identical twins, were the inspiration for National Twin Day. The story behind this includes a town in Ohio named Millersville that was changed to Twinsburg in exchange for the donation of six acres of land to Millersville.
If you have one, you can celebrate with your twin by spending time doing fun activities and posting pictures on social media. Different community events are held in Twinsburg town, so you can participate in these events as well where you can meet other identical and fraternal twins.
