Sugar Skull Decorating for Día de los Muertos

Get creative while learning about the traditions of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)! In this hands-on workshop, kids will decorate sugar skulls—bright, colorful treats that play an important role in this holiday. Sugar skulls are often placed on altars, or ofrendas, to honor and celebrate loved ones who have passed away. Their lively designs remind us that Día de los Muertos is not about sadness, but about remembering with joy, color, and love.

Kids will have fun using icing and decorations to bring their own sugar skulls to life while discovering the meaning behind this beautiful tradition. Recommended for ages 8 and up.
