Cinco de Mayo

[CraftyMom]

Anyone have any crafts or menu ideas that are suited for 3 and under?

I am sitting here researching ideas as well.

I think we are going to make the flags that are here.

And debating on taco's or quesadilla's for lunch.

we are making ponchos (brown paper bags cut out), sombreros (plastic cup taped to a paper plate) and making maracas.

Breakfast was flan & mango, lunch is tacos, snack is tortilla chips and fruit salsa

Awesome ideas! Thanks!

I'm going with quesadillas for lunch, maybe I'll whip up some fruit salsa for snack

I found lots of printables. I chose this one which they can color or use dotters, then we'll cut them out and glue on colored paper.

I like the sombrero and maraca idea too. The flag is cool too

hmmmm now the ideas are flowing :: Sometimes I get a "writer's block" and need a push in the right direction

I wonder if I have enough paper bags for ponchos.....

We just did a flag. It took a long time with 11 kids so I am done for the day. ::
