Design Your Own Calaverita and Win! {Contest}

One of our favorite times of the year at SpanglishBaby is here: Day of the Dead/Día de Muertos.

We love embracing it because of the deep traditions, symbolism and colors it brings to our bicultural lives. It´s an especially fun time of the year to create original crafts and activities with our kids.

This is our third year celebrating this special occasion with you. If you´re looking  for information on what Día de Muertos is and how to celebrate, then check out these posts:

We really want to have fun with this one, so we´ve created a Facebook contest.

Take a picture of their creation, or scan it, and then go to our Facebook Photo Contest page here to upload.
