Printables are fun, easy to access and perfect for indoor activities with the kids. Since we have made our way into October I wanted to shared two Día de los Muertos { Day of the Dead} Printables.
Día de los Muertos is a very important part of my Latino culture and I am fully aware that the holiday does not commemorate just sugar skulls and is Aztec mythology, but the opportunity for other cultures and younger generations can still benefit from discussing Dia de los Muertos with your family.
My daughter is in high school and wants to minor in Latino Studies when she goes to college so we discuss Mesoamerican history regularly. Although we discuss Mictecacihuatl, Aztec queen of the underworld. keeping things light for younger children is definitely a must! We created a new printable in honor of Dia de los Muertos / Day of the Dead.
Our Sugar skull mask Printable – Dia De Los Muertos Day of the Dead Activity for Children is colorful and kid-friendly. In fact, my daughter printed one to give to her high school Fine Art Survey class.
I know what you’re thinking? How is this traditional Dia de los Muertos? Why not make this a cultural learning activity and have your children gain cultural knowledge as well as a Spanish lesson. My kids are older and use an App to practice their Spanish when they have downtime in their bedrooms. If you have younger children, use this bilingual printable that offers a Spanish anatomy lesson.
Our Bilingual Printable in English & Spanish educates using Dia De Los Meurtos to learn the bones in the skeleton. Plus kids can have fun learning about science, history and other cultures along the way.
Have you discussed what Dia de los Muertos with your family? Are there any cultural holidays to your family celebrates others might not know about?
These are very cute and a fun activity for Halloween!
I love these printables! It’s always great when you can learn something about someone else’s culture while having fun and creating art. Thank you for sharing these!
You are all kinds of talented…..This is really good share….thanks
As I taught Spanish we used to do and celebrate this particular day each year! It’s tons of fun
Really a neat idea. I really like the printables also.
What a great idea for printables. Love the idea of also being able to do either English or Spanish!
Sorry, i don’t do Halloween but those who do will enjoy this I am sure.
I like the one with bones… my niece is collecting these printables, will forward your blog to her
What a great idea. This is a fun way to review on the kids Spanish vocabulary.
These is really fun idea. Cultural learning and fun together
These are really cool printables. I especially like the sugar skull coloring activity. That would enhance a kid’s creativity!
Awesome printable! I love the sugar skull look. I have to give it a try sometime.
This brings back memories of homeschooling my four kids (WAY back in the 1990s). They really enjoyed worksheets and activities like these.
Looks fun and creative. For sure kids will enjoy with this activity 😀
