All NEW! We've got an exciting collection of crafts to try with the kids for Day of the Dead - involving sewing, painting and sticking! All are suitable for groups or as individual projects.
This Day of the Dead felt skull craft is a lovely excuse for children of all ages to practice their sewing skills - and to dig out all those embellishments that have been looking for a project! You could insert a wooden spoon
This is a simple almost-no-mess craft idea for Day of the Dead (with the proviso that permanent markers need to be used carefully!) The sugar skulls look great on display in a window.
Last Halloween I took my youngest son to a fancy dress party at the local park. The winner of the fancy dress competition was a little girl dressed in a stunning black, purple and cerise pink frilled dress, with matching flower headband and veil.
You will need a steady hand to outline the calavera (Day of the Dead sugar skull) in PVA glue, and the patience to wait for the glue to dry, but I think you'll agree the result is worth it!
