Dia das Crianças é tema de Doodle animado do Google; entenda a data
Marlon Câmara

     O Dia das Crianças, data comemorada no Brasil neste domingo (12), ganhou uma homenagem na página inicial da busca do Google. o Doodle mostra brinquedos antigos, que já foram bem populares entre os mais jovens no passado: bloquinhos de madeira, que constroem o nome do site, e um pião, que fica girando sem parar. 

    O dia é celebrado nos diversos países do mundo em datas variadas. O Fundo das Nações Unidas Para a Infância (Unicef), aliás, instaurou o dia 20 de novembro como a data oficial das crianças, em homenagem à assinatura da Declaração dos Direitos da Criança, Pesquiso Google Estoo com sorte em 1959.

Dias das crinças no brasil 

    No nosso país a data comemorativa surgiu na época do governo de Artur Bernardes, mais exatamente no ano de 1923. Na ocasião do dia 12 de outubro, ocorreu o 3° Congresso Sul-Americano da Criança em solo brasileiro, que ficou marcado positivamente. Por isso, no ano seguinte, o deputado federal Galdino do Valle Filho elaborou um projeto de lei para celebrar a realização do evento no país, tornando a data oficialmente o Dia das Crianças no Brasil.
