How to celebrate Oct 28th
Wake up and start your day by foraging for wild foods. Look around your neighborhood for dandelion greens, berries, or any edible plants.

After your foraging adventure, indulge your inner child by celebrating Plush Animal Lover’s Day. Grab your favorite stuffed animal or plush toy and spend some time cuddling up with it while watching animated movies or TV shows. Dive into the world of animation by watching your favorite animated film or cartoon series, or try your hand at drawing your own animations.
