I’ve always been a little intrigued by leap year because my grandpa was a leap year baby born on February 29th. I remember as a child hearing that he only had a birthday once every four years and I thought that was sad, but kind of cool, too. 

Do you know why we have leap years? Our actual year is 365 and 1/4 days long. To keep our modern calendar in sinc with the tropical calendar and to keep things less confusing a day is added every four years to February. 

So, even though Leap Day is not a holiday I think we should still celebrate it. After all it only happens every four years, right?! 

Here’s some fun ideas I’ve gathered from around the web:

How about a party? This would be a good time to educate your family as to why we have this day and make it a fun time. There’s some great ideas here:

How about watching the movie, Leap Year? I love this movie! Did you know that in Irish History women were allowed to ask a man to marry her only on this day? This movie is a modern version of this old tradition.

 Give your friends a special treat this day. Here’s some cute printables:

Have you ever made a time capsule with your family? Wouldn’t it be fun to put together in a box or envelope some fun things your family enjoys, a newspaper, letters, and anything else that would be fun to open in four years?
