Cinco de Mayo Fiesta With Latino-Inspired Games, Crafts, Activities

Cinco de Mayo--"fifth of May" in Spanish--celebrates the Mexican victory at the Battle of Pueblo. It's not the Mexican independence day though it sounds like 4th of July in the US. Ironically, my Latino friends tell me Cinco de Mayo isn't a big thing in Mexico (except in the Puebla province) like it is stateside. Regardless, we Americans love our ethnic kitsch. And how to we observe holidays? We party! Or in this case, fiesta. Here's are kid-friendly Cinco de Mayo games, crafts, lesson plans, cultural activities and food! Now if ONLY I could find one of the tortilla chip hats like El Macho has in Despicable Me--that would really make the fiesta! Kid-Friendly Cinco de Mayo Fiesta With Latino-Inspired Games, Crafts, Food
