There are so many activities here on my site for kids to make, read, watch and more. But it can be tricky to find all of them, so I've created this Day of the Dead living activity calendar to help you! It includes links not just to resources on MommyMaestra, but also to other sites who are insanely clever.
What is the Day of the Dead Activity Calendar?
My Day of the Dead Activity Calendar is full of 32 resources for celebrating the holiday with your children. Many of the activities and printables are available in English and Spanish.
Please note that a couple of the book links are affiliate links to my Amazon store. And you know what happens when you buy one them? Amazon puts a small percentage on a gift card for me to buy more books for my kids and to share reviews with you (at no extra cost to you).
How to Use the Día de los Muertos Activity Calendar?
While the calendar is laid out with 32 days worth of activities, many of them are easily done in a few minutes. So you can do one a day in the days leading up to the holiday. OR you can choose several from the list to do in a single day or week.
Recommended Day of the Dead Books
Here's a quick list of the titles that I recommend on the calendar in case you'd like to request them from your local library or purchase them ahead of time. And be sure to check out my complete list of favorite books for Dia de los Muertos!
