We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.

April 27 is celebrated throughout the United States of America as National Devil Dog Day.
All Americans celebrate this day.
This day first started in 2017 and became official in 2018.
Sean Alexander Sobel started the celebrations for this day.
April 27 is celebrated to honor the U.S. Marines who were called the Devil Dogs, which is picked up from a German word. The devilish treat also has a rich history associated with it.
Although there are no particular traditions followed by people since it is not an official holiday, many people enjoy this snack cake of two layers and might also try baking it. On April 27, Americans also honor the U.S. Marines that fought courageously during the First World War. This family tradition started by Sean Sobel is still observed in many parts of the U.S.
You can celebrate this day by making your own cake with two elongated buns and a marshmallow in between. This is also the perfect day to augment your knowledge of the history of the U.S. Marines and how they fought for their country with bravery. Although it is not an official holiday, many people visit local bakeries and shops that still make this cake and indulge in its rich cream.
The American soldiers of the U.S. Marine Corps were called Devil Dogs because of the exceptional bravery they showed during the First World War. The German soldiers gave this nickname to them.
Devil Dog was the nickname given to the American soldiers of World War I, which was used in the Marine recruiting poster after the Battle of Belleau Wood as well. Later, Drake's Cakes introduced snack cakes by this name in 1926.
This day is celebrated to honor the courageous members of the U.S. Marine Corps who fought valiantly in World War I. The Devil Dog cake was introduced after the Battle of Belleau Wood.
You can eat unlimited Devil Dogs and sate your appetite without any guilt on this day.
National Devil Dog Day celebrates the amazing cream sandwiched cakes that were named after the brave soldiers of the country.
