If you won’t be heading to Punxsatawney, Pennsylvania to watch groundhog Phil do his thing on February 2 this year, then chances are you’ll need some other fun ways to celebrate Groundhog Day. This day is a fun tradition when we rely on a little groundhog to tell us if we’ve got 6 more weeks of winter headed our way, or if we can start welcoming spring. We’ve found some fun ways for kids to get in on the action with these groundhog day activities.

3. Read Some Groundhog Day Books

4. Groundhog Stick Puppet
Don’t just read about Punxsutawney Phil, why not make a stick puppet to go with all your stories? Made from a cup, construction paper and a popsicle stick (to name a few), this is a great craft for older kids to do on their own. I can envision a puppet show in the near future, can’t you?
