Day of the Dead is a holiday celebrated in Mexico and parts of the US. It's a holiday where family members honor their relatives who have passed and decorate their homes with playful symbols, skeletons and more! Day of the Dead is not a sad holiday, but rather a very spirited enjoyable holiday!
Enchantedlearning.com has a great project you can do with your kids. Make a scary ghost that your children can wear as a necklace or decoration!
You're going to need:
-Glue
-Paper clip-Waxed Paper
-2 Black paper circles cut using a hole punch, or googly eyes
-String or yearn
 | Working on waxed paper, spread a blob of white glue in the shape of a ghost. Unfold a paper clip into a V-shape (to use as a hanger). Put the ends of the paper clip into the glue at the top of the ghost. For the ghost's eyes, use black paper circles cut with a hole punch, or use googly eyes. Put two (or more) eyes on the glue ghost. |
 | Let the glue dry - it will take a few days. When it dries, the glue will become transparent. When it is completely dry, peel it gently off the waxed paper. String the ghost on some yarn for a scary necklace. |
