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.
International Pillow Fight Day is celebrated in cities worldwide. The Pillow Fight, which takes place in early April, is an international celebration. Since 2007, the Pillow Fight has occurred in over 15 locations worldwide, including Berlin, London, Paris, and Tokyo. This isn't just for a good time. The items used in the fights are donated to homeless shelters and recycled.
The people of New York generally celebrate International Pillow Fight Day, but now it has global participation. On the first Saturday in April, the Pillow Fight Day events are commemorated. Since it is observed globally, practically every country participates in this unofficial holiday. They take out their fluffy cushions with feathers and use them as simple weapons to attack other individuals in the most gentle manner possible. Everyone is urged to join in on the festivities to have a good time and get rid of stress.
The first pillow battle in history occurred in March 2008, and since then, the severity of pillow fights on the street with a soft pillow has increased rapidly.
Organizer Kevin Bracken first launched an international pillow fight in 2008. Since then, people have had a lot of fun during pillow fighting.
The history of the pillow starts with its introduction in 7000BCE. Later, we can find multiple pieces of evidence related to the pillows used for mummies. Here is a timeline you must read about.
On this day, people enjoy conducting pillow battles with friends and family. A flash mob is also a common sight in New York City.
International Pillow Fight Day can be commemorated in a variety of ways. You may either host your pillow battle and invite your friends and family members, or you can quickly join one of the scheduled pillow fights in cities near you. Challenge your roommates, neighbors, friends, and cousins to a pillow fight war, and enjoy the ultimate get-together in the Pillow Fight Royal Battle arena. A flash mob is also organized on this day.
