Wiggle Your Toes Day
About Wiggle Your Toes Day
When is Wiggle Your Toes Day? This holiday is always celebrated on August 6
For some odd reason, kids are fascinated with their toes. They do all sorts of things with them, among them is wiggling their toes. Because of this fascination, it’s only fitting that we celebrate Wiggle Your Toes Day. On this fun, and somewhat inane August 6 holiday, we invite little AND otherwise grownup kids to give your little piggy toes some exercise.
Those ten extremities at the ends of your feet are crying out for a little freedom. Cramped up inside a pair of shoes or sneakers all day long, your stinky toes just don’t get the chance to move about freely, as they would like to do.
Celebrate Wiggle Your Toes Day by airing out your toes, and wiggling them around for all to see. The best place to wiggle your toes on a hot August day is in the pool. Or, sit on a dock and stick your wiggly little toes in the water.
Did you Know? Not all toes are alike. Like people, toes come in all shapes and sizes. There is a small percentage of the population who have two or more toes partially joined together…. web-like toes!
