Mardi Gras Party!

Happy Mardi Gras everyone!! I'm sure you know that Mardi Gras means Fat Tuesday in English. It's a time to celebrate and have fun! If you want to learn more about it, you can visit Wiki here and read more.

You can celebrate it at your own house with a little creativity. Today you and your child can make masks for the celebration out of construction paper. Or, if you have little time today, you can just have your child dress up in a costume that they already have at home. Lots of French children do that here in Paris.

Also, you can have a parade around your house with your costome, then you can sit down to some desserts that either you prepared with your child or that you bought at the store. Here's a site with simple Mardi Gras recipes for kids! Have fun!!!
