Presidents Day for Kids

Presidents Day is an American holiday to honor and remember the leaders of the nation. It’s a combination of the celebrations for the birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, both of whom were born in February. While they are the emphasis, it’s a time to celebrate other people who have been president as well.

123 Homeschool 4 Me has a mini unit on Presidents Day that includes a worksheet for kids to design a new coin, write about what they would do as president and explore who they would add to Mount Rushmore.

Kindergarten Creations has a writing activity for kids to write what they would do if they were president, complete with a cute photo of the kid decorated in the style of Washington or Lincoln. Older kids can write more than younger ones but this is a fun activity for a range of ages.

Do a little Presidents Day STEM by cleaning some coins with guidance from the US Mint. Speaking of coins, you can also do coin rubbings or make patterns with coins (or do math with coins, for that matter!). These and other ideas are on the list from The Educator’s Spin on It.

Learn a bit about some of the favorite foods of the presidents from Make and Takes, and maybe make a presidential inspired snack. (Fun fact: Joe Biden loves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.)

You can also read books about the presidents or do presidential Mad Libs. A few good books with general information about the presidents include A Kid’s Guide to U.S. Presidents, Facts and Stories about the Presidents of the United States of America for Curious Kids and Our Country’s Presidents, which is a National Geographic book.

Older kids can learn about the qualifications to be president and host a mock election campaign (also great for 2024 as I write this because it’s an election year).

If you have a K-pop fan in the house, this is one of those books that feels like an easy gift win.

The Unauthorized Ultimate K-Pop Fanbook: Girl Group Edition is packed with puzzles, games, fan trivia and plenty of stickers, with groups including BLACKPINK, TWICE, LE SSERAFIM and HUNTR/X from K-Pop Demon Hunters.

It’s definitely more fun activity book than serious K-pop encyclopedia, which I actually think is part of the appeal. There are mazes, crosswords, bias-themed games and little references for fans to spot, plus 16 sticker sheets for decorating journals, photo books and anything else that happens to be within reach.

If your K-pop obsession started with K-Pop Demon Hunters, we’ve already got a few more ideas worth checking out, including our free K-Pop Demon Hunters coloring pages and digital images and these K-Pop Demon Hunters learning activities and printables.

And yes, K-pop has even made its way into the craft room with these K-Pop Demon Hunters cross stitch patterns.

I think this fanbook would make a cute birthday present, Christmas stocking filler or addition to a K-pop themed gift basket. Add some gel pens, a journal or photo-card binder and you’ve got a gift that feels a bit more thoughtful than simply grabbing another piece of merchandise.

The book is due for release on October 6, 2026, and based on the preview, it looks like a fun little pick for younger K-pop fans, tweens, teens and sticker-loving grown-ups who are absolutely not admitting how many sticker sheets they already own.
