Grab and Go Activities: Dia de Muertos Sugar Skulls

10/28/2020

0 Comments

 
Celebrate Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead) by decorating your very own calavera - a skull made of solid sugar! Follow the instructions below for either a Basic Calavera or a Literary Ofrenda. You can even submit your creation to our contest!

Dia de Muertos is a Mexican holiday celebrated October 31st through November 2nd honoring friends and family who have passed away. But Dia de Muertos is not a day of mourning - it's a day of celebration! By creating ofrendas (family altars) at home and their loved one’s graves, families pay their respects with gifts of calaveras, Aztec marigolds, and the favorite foods and drinks of the departed. It is believed that the souls of loved ones return to enjoy the gifts from their ofrenda and celebrate with their living relatives.

Calaveras, Spanish for “skull” are made from sugar and decorated with beads, feathers, foil, or icing to express the personality of the deceased. But don’t try and eat them - dried sugar skulls are as hard as a rock, and often decorated with inedible materials!
