Our Day of the Dead activity book has 40 printable activities with marigolds, pan de muerto, papel picado, candles, copal, monarch butterflies and the catrina and catrín, in five reading levels for ages 3 to 9. Each level has a free sample to try first, and the full book can come without a name or with your child’s name and a character dressed as a catrina or catrín who looks like them.
How do the downloads work?
The sample and the full book go through the cart: confirm with your name and email, and they’re ready to download right away. The book comes as two files for each age, one in color and one in black and white, which is the one to use for printing at home or copying for a class.
What’s inside?
The activities change with the level, and the ofrenda, the altar families set up for the holiday, runs through all of them. This is the mix in the book for ages 5 to 6:
| Activity | Pages |
|---|---|
| Coloring pages (the candle, the copal, the fruit, the flower arch, the catrina and the catrín) | 11 |
| Mazes (the path of petals, the butterfly flying back to the ofrenda) | 5 |
| Word searches with Day of the Dead words | 4 |
| Sorting: put each thing in its group | 4 |
| “Did you know?”: a short fact to read and color | 4 |
| Complete the word | 3 |
| Connect the dots | 3 |
| Counting: how many are there? | 3 |
| Tracing paths with a pencil | 2 |
| Beginning sounds | 1 |
It also has a “This book belongs to…” page, a closing page to draw their own Day of the Dead, a page for the grown-up and the answer keys.
What age is it for?
| Level | Ages | School |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 to 4 | Preschool |
| 2 | 4 to 5 | Pre-K |
| 3 | 5 to 6 | Kindergarten |
| 4 | 6 to 7 | First grade |
| 5 | 7 to 9 | Second and third grade |
The level sets the difficulty and the kind of exercise. If your child sits between two, the easier one usually works better, and the free samples make it easy to compare.
How does personalizing work?
Build their character from a list of options, type their first name and pick the level. In the Day of the Dead book, the character is dressed as a catrina or a catrín. You see the whole book before you pay, and when it’s ready an email brings both versions, color and black and white. It all happens on the personalized activity book page.
