Have you ever heard of Punxsutawney Phil? This little guy is an important part of a quirky winter tradition called Groundhog Day. In this educational video for kids, we are going to learn more about it together!

Let’s emerge from our burrows and jump into the history and lore of this interesting day, and try not to see our shadows while we do it! (Trust us, it will all make sense in a minute.)

Groundhog Day is celebrated on February second every year, mostly in the United States and Canada. The reason this date was chosen is because it is the halfway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox, making it an excellent time to predict whether winter will linger or spring will emerge.
