United Nations Day - Is it Big in Your Place?

Just asking, but is United Nations Day celebrated in your kids' school? I've been doing the rounds in the interwebs and found a few pictures. So far, I've seen 1 or 2 pictures from the US, Indonesia, Philippines and Australia.

The United Nations Day is celebrated during the 24th of October. It's a good time to learn about flags, their costume, location, specialty/ goods of the country and other facts.

All the kids are so cute during UN Day Celebrations!

Usually, kids dress up in the national dresses of the different countries. One time, my child dressed up in the Poland national costume. My niece also attended one year in a Chinese dress pants set.

Other kids celebrate UN Day in their usual school attire, but they also hold activities such as parades and programs.

UN Day in schools is a nice time to learn about different places, but most important, it is a time to impart to the children that everybody, regardless where they come from, are living, feeling human beings who have privileges and responsibilities to help make the world better.

Please share pictures of your kids during their UN Day celebration. That will surely be fun.

If you're looking for a Chinese cheungsam dress or Vietnamese dress (Ao Dai) for your little girls (and boys) to use for United Nations Day, you know where to go ;-)

Who's she gonna be?

October is the costume month as I like to put it because of two occasions that we love to dress our kids up. First is the United Nations Celebration and of course the Halloween.

With the economic crisis as wise parents you should sit down and think if you have to buy two different costumes for each occasions of simply buy one and use it for both celebrations. Just use a little creativity to change the look of the costume and I bet it would look good as new.

This is exactly what my friend's kid is doing. There's too much going on in the world that buying two different costumes would be too much.

Let me give you a specific example.

Your kid could wear a girl's formal dress for the United Nations Celebration and use it to be a fairy or princess in Halloween.

Step it a notch, she can be a Chinese Princess for the United Nations and be a Chinese vampire (hello: Edward and Bella) in Halloween.

Whatever way you choose to spend the occasions this month, I hope you and your kid will have a blast! :)
