Day of the Dead...any ideas?

[Leanna]

With all of the chatter about Halloween, I was wondering if anyone teaches about Day of the Dead with their group? Does anyone know of any good activities? I thought it would be nice to include a nod to another cultural celebration. Thanks in advance!

I don't, but I think it is a nice idea for those providers who have any families who do celebrate this Mexican holiday.

Here are a couple sites that have some craft and activity ideas for Day of the Dead.

I don't, but only because I've never learned about it. I'm always open to teaching the kids about new things though!
