15 Fun Pi Day Activities for Kids

I remember back to when I thought that the only thing to do for Pi Day (March 14 = 3-14, the first three numbers of Pi) was to bake a pie.  It really is a popular choice, not only because everyone loves pie, but because if you look at 3.14 in the mirror, it actually looks like it says, “PIE.”

But as you can see in these 15 Fun Pi Day Activities for Kids, there are so many more creative ways to celebrate Pi Day 2020!  One of my favorite ideas is to draw a Pi Skyline, but I actually found all of these activities to be intriguing.
