When is Pancake Day 2021?

Pancake Day is celebrate the Tuesday before Lent Starts – ie 40 days before Easter. This year, Easter is on the 4th April 2021. Which means that shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day is on the 16th February 2021!

Why do we have Pancake Day? What does Shrove Tuesday mean?

Traditionally, Pancake Day was all about using up all the eggs and butter and rich foods before the period of fasting. It is also known as “Shrove Tuesday”. Derived from the word shriven.. when you go and confess you sins before lent.

In modern day Britain it is an eagerly awaited day by children. Not because children are excited about lent (ahem!), but children are excited about PANCAKES!! Traditionally, in the UK people eat their pancakes with a little sugar and lemon. Delicious. But we also enjoy savoury pancakes with cheese and ham.

Enough background.

Here we haev a collection of Pancake Day Ideas & Activities for kids. Many are prefect for the classroom, but of course are suitable for the home too. We also have a great list of Pancake Books – they are NOT about Pancake Day as such.. but just pancakes in general.

Once you are done with these Pancake Day Activities, be sure to check out our Easter Crafts for Preschoolers too!
