Day of the Dead, coloured rice and a rooster

[Louise Boulton]

Some simple skull/skeleton activities for the Mexican Day of the Dead:

Dancing skeletons: http://ideas4kids.org/201
Sugar skulls: http://ideas4kids.org/202
Painted skulls: http://ideas4kids.org/203
Ghost lolly pops: http://ideas4kids.org/204

I've uploaded instructions for making coloured rice (great for
collages and rangoli patterns): http://ideas4kids.org/205

Here is a cut and stick rooster: http://ideas4kids.org/206
My brownies made them as part of a Christmas around the world theme
(the rooster is a Christmas symbol in Bolivia due to a story about the
rooster being the first animal to announce the birth of Christ). Other
Christmas around the world activities will be uploaded coming soon...
