Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus! 🏴🐉

Every year on March 1st, Wales comes alive with celebrations for St David’s Day, honouring the country’s patron saint, Dewi Sant. It’s a day filled with pride, tradition, and plenty of Welsh spirit, where children dress in traditional Welsh costumes, people wear daffodils or leeks, and the red dragon flag flies high. From feasting on Welsh cakes to singing in school eisteddfods, St David’s Day is a wonderful time to embrace all things Cymru and remember St David’s famous words: “Do the little things”—a reminder that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a big difference.

Looking for some fun ways to mark the occasion with your kids? Here are some ideas:

🌼 Daffodil & Leek Crafts – Make daffodils from cut up egg boxes painted yellow or paper leeks to decorate your home!
🐉 Dress Up as a Welsh Dragon – Pop on something red and roar like the mighty Y Ddraig Goch!
🍪 Bake Some Welsh Cakes – Get the little ones involved in mixing, rolling, and taste-testing!
📖 Read a Welsh Story – Snuggle up with a tale of Gelert the Brave or some magical Mabinogion legends.
🏰 Visit a Castle – If you’re in Wales, take a trip to one of its many stunning castles!  Fun fact: There are more per square mile than anywhere else!
