This World Circus Day, let’s rediscover our love for the circus with some Circus crafts and activities for kids. Make your own tent, performers and animals!

There are some joys of our childhood that our kids seem to be missing out on, and one of them is the joy of going to the circus! The circus was an event we looked forward to a lot, and the acts were short, simple and hilarious!

Somehow kids today don’t seem as excited about circuses as we were, probably since they’re too busy staring at screens. But it’s time to change all that, especially since its World Circus Day on 20th April!

This World Circus Day, let’s rediscover our love for the circus with our kids, with some Circus crafts and activities.
