El día de los niños / Day of the Child

Día del Niño is a pretty big deal in Mexico and other Latin countries, Besides Mother's and Father's Day, children have a special day too -- día del niño.
Día del niño, or children's day, is an annual celebration held on April 30 throughout Mexico. Many have brought the tradition over the years to the United States.  It's a day when children should feel special. Usually in Mexico and other Latin countries will host festivals, music shows, magicians, special events with clowns and more for children on this day.

Here is some information about día del niño:

1. President Álvaro Obregón and Public Education Minister José Vasconcelos accepted the Children's Rights Declaration in Mexico on April 30, 1925.

2. Besides Mexico, other Latin countries celebrate this day on different dates such as; Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador.

3. Some traditional treats would be:
