We love celebrating Day of the Dead (Dia de Los Muertos) in our house. The Mexican holiday is observed on November 1 each year and is focused on remembering loved ones that have passed away. One of the most fun ways to enjoy the holiday is by making a cute sugar skull or Day of the Dead craft that the kids and I can display in our home. In addition to having fun as a family, making a craft together is a great way for me to talk about the holiday with my kids and teach them about their heritage. Here are a few fun Day of the Dead crafts you can make with your kids this year:
