5 Unicorn-Themed Activities for Your Rainbow-Obsessed Baby & Toddler
If April 9th is marked on your calendar as National Unicorn Day, you’ve come to the right blog. Each year between April Fool’s Day and Earth Day, we celebrate the mythical horse-like creature because there’s nothing a four-year-old toddler cherishes more.

Today, you can find them as characters in movies, toys, and even represented on adorable outfits.
