The history of groundhog day:
Groundhog Day is from the tradition of candlemas and handing out candles to last through the last few weeks of winter. The candles represented how long and cold the winter would be.
Germans added the hedgehog as a means of predicting weather and later it became a groundhog. Groundhog predictions made by its shadow lead to a continuation of winter or the coming of an early spring.
It’s now one of those fun holidays celebrated in Canada and the United States on February 2nd. These free printables are a great way to help celebrate with groundhog day crafts and activities.
