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.
Tim Tam Day is celebrated in Australia.
Tim Tam Day is celebrated by anyone and everyone who loves to eat Tim Tams.
The first date of this event is unknown but Tim Tams were first produced by Arnott's in 1964.
It is unknown who started the day. However, Ian Norris developed these tasty treats for Arnott's after enjoying the similar Penguin bar in the U.K.
Read on to learn more historical facts about this day and why it is celebrated.
There are no specific traditions or customs observed on this day, but to have a traditional Tim Tam experience, you can try the Tim Tam Slam. This is an activity where a person bites the ends of a Tim Tam and uses the cookie as a straw to drink a beverage: a wholesome and customary Tim Tam experience!
Celebrating this day is quite easy: munch down all the contents of a pack in one sitting, or have a Tim Tam Slam! Have a Tim Tam party with friends and post the photos on social media.
If Tim Tams are not manufactured in your area, then go ahead and order them online!
Did you know that if a person's name starts with 'T-I -M' or 'T-A-M', then he/she is eligible for a free Tim Tam gift box? These boxes have many Tim Tam packets inside them, so all the Tims and Tams should check out this deal on Tim Tam Day!
A fun fact to know on this Tim Tam Day is that mainly people associate scone with England, apple pie with America, and Tim Tams with Australia.
Matt Grant, the marketing manager of Arnott, contributed to the success of Tim Tams. So celebrate this Tim Tam Day by having Tim Tams with your friends and family.
Australians eat 45 million packets of Tim Tams a year.
They were named after a horse that won the Kentucky Derby in 1958, by Ross Arnott.
National Chocolate Day and National Licorice Day are some similar events.
The concept was developed by Ian Norris.
The importance of this day is to relish the yummy Tim Tam biscuit with your loved ones.
The motto of Tim Tam Day is 'Australia's favorite cookie'.
