Day of the Dead Early Years Ideas

 

If you are learning about DÍa de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, with younger children, we've got lots of activities here that they will enjoy. Although Día de los Muertos is not a spooky festival, like Halloween, some children might be frightened by the skulls so we have compiled a collection of activities that don't include lots of a calaveras or skulls. 

If you head over to our accompanying blog post, Day of the Dead Activity Ideas for Early Years, you'll find the links and explanations to go with this planning sheet.
