Every year, the United States celebrates President’s Day on the third Monday in February. President’s Day was created to honor the birthday of the nation’s first president, George Washington. Abraham Lincoln’s birthday is also celebrated in February, and because of his historical impact on this country, many consider President’s Day a combination of the two presidents. To celebrate, we have some fun President’s Day crafts for you to enjoy with the kids!
