2. Take the favorite stuffed animals on a picnic
What do kids love more than picnics? A chance to invite their favorite stuffed friends! It's Teddy Bear Picnic Day (yep, that's a thing!) so make the sandwiches, load up the kids, have them bring a few stuffed animals and head to your favorite picnic spot for a fun afternoon out. Or just throw a blanket down in the backyard. Either way the kids will be thrilled — and the teddy bears will surely enjoy their afternoons out. July 10
3. Eat alllll the macaroni!
It's Mac and Cheese Day, a holiday we at Macaroni KID love, for obvious reasons! Make a special mac and cheese dinner at home, or head out to one of these great Allen restaurants for some yummy mac & cheese. July 14
