Here are some fun ways to celebrate with your family at home.
Get a King Cake. This is a Mardi Gras Tradition. It is a sweet brioche dough covered in a glaze with Mardi Gras colors. There is normally a small figure or baby hidden in the cake. The person to get the figure gets special priveledges or obligations. You can make up our own rules at home.
Toss Beads. Kids will love getting beads. They could earn beads by doing chores or have a fun dance party.
Make a Mask. Let each child make their own mask. They can get creative and make it however they like or use traditional Mardi Gras colors, gold, green, and purple.
Make a Mardi Gras dinner. You could try traditional Cajun food and of course King cake for dessert.
Here at The Academy of Gateway we celebrated by having a Mardi Gras Pajama Parade. The kids danced around the enrichment room to fun New Orleans Style Jazz music and even got beads.
