How to celebrate Apr 12th

Ready for a day full of unexpected fun? Let’s start by breaking the silence. Use the Day of Silence as an excuse to unplug and enjoy some peaceful moments alone or with loved ones. Embrace the tranquility as you stargaze, meditate, or simply appreciate the beauty of silence.

Next, channel your inner astronaut on the International Day of Human Space Flight. Watch a space documentary, create your own makeshift rocket ship out of household items, or stargaze in the evening and imagine yourself floating among the stars.

Feeling hungry? Celebrate National For Twelves Day by preparing a meal that includes foods in sets of 12. Perhaps a dozen mini sliders, a dozen different types of fruit, or a platter of 12 different types of cheese. Get creative in the kitchen and have fun experimenting with different combinations.

As an only child on National Only Child Day, pamper yourself with some self-care. Treat yourself to a spa day at home, indulge in your favorite hobbies, or simply relax with a good book or movie.

Now, it’s time to appreciate the small things in life on World Hamster Day. Visit a pet store and spend some time watching these adorable creatures, or channel their energy by going for a brisk walk or run in your neighborhood.

For lunch, whip up a delicious grilled cheese sandwich in honor of National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day. Experiment with different cheeses, add bacon or tomato for extra flavor, and enjoy this comforting classic.

Feeling the wind in your hair on National Big Wind Day? Head outdoors for a windy adventure. Fly a kite, go for a bike ride, or have a picnic in a breezy spot. Embrace the elements and let the wind invigorate you.

Join the space party on Yuri’s Night by hosting a backyard star-gazing party. Set up a telescope, play space-themed music, and enjoy some cosmic treats under the night sky.

Indulge your sweet tooth on National Licorice Day with a licorice tasting session. Try different varieties of licorice candies from around the world, or get creative and incorporate licorice into your baking.

Make breakfast for dinner on Deskfast Day. Enjoy a cozy breakfast spread in the evening – pancakes, eggs, bacon, and some fresh orange juice. Mix it up and have fun with the unconventional meal time.

Finally, end the day on a wild note on Walk On Your Wild Side Day. Take a different route home, try a new hobby or activity, or simply let go of inhibitions and do something out of the ordinary. Let your adventurous side take the lead and see where it takes you.
