{ De Colores }



Yes, I know it's over. But, I am still playing catch up on my photos of the Dia de los Muertos masks my daughter and I made. I love all the colors and the flowers involved with this celebration and it makes me think of the song De Colores which my parents often played when I was growing up.


We painted the masks white and then added lots of color, gems, and flowers to make them look very Dia de los Muertos style.






For the month of October, we set up a fun colorful Dia de los Muertos table. 



In addition to the masks, we made Dia de los Muertos coffins which we decorated with flowers and glitter and of course lots of colorful paints. Saylor used her imagination and wrote things like, "Flora Chiquita" and "Beautiful Soul" on the coffins.
