“But is the unicorn a falsehood? It’s the sweetest of animals and a noble symbol.”

It’s Unicorn Day on April 9th – yes, Unicorn Day!! If you’re like me and love unicorns, you’ll agree that the unicorn completely deserves its own day!

Like Umberto Eco said in the quote above, no one is sure about the origin of the unicorn. Yet, we all wish it were real. Unicorns evoke feelings of love, innocence and kindness – things that are getting increasingly rare in this world.

So this Unicorn Day, let’s revive this kindly spirit of unicorns by doing some awesome unicorn crafts for kids. And here’s another reason – they’re drop-dead gorgeous!!
