Cinco de Mayo Crafts for Kids {Round Up}

Cinco de Mayo CollageCan you believe it?  Cinco de Mayo is just one week away!  While the food tends to steal the show on May 5th – let’s face it, who doesn’t love a holiday where tacos are at the very top of the menu – there’s so much more to this holiday.  Each year on Cinco de Mayo cities host parades, festivals, and other celebrations to commemorate the Mexican forces unlikely (and unexpected) win over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.  There are even reenactments that go on in Puebla each year.  Unfortunately kids often see the parades or participate in the festivals, but don’t know much about the holiday itself.

With Cinco de Mayo around the corner I decided that this was the perfect time to scour the internet for Cinco de Mayo crafts for kids, so they can learn more about Mexico and Cinco de Mayo.  Below are just a few of my favorites.  Enjoy!
