I'm a Parent Add up to 6 childrenSugar Skull Masks
The Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday that honours and remembers deceased loved ones. The use of sugar skulls represents the cyclical nature of life and death. While the skulls are associated with death, the vibrant colours and decorations on the masks symbolise the celebration of life and the continuation of the spiritual journey beyond death. Creating and decorating sugar skull masks is a form of artistic expression. Families and communities engage in the creative process of making these masks as a way to express love, respect, and remembrance for the departed. This engaging worksheet serves as a canvas for students to explore the vibrant and symbolic world of sugar skull creations. Encourage students to research additional symbols and meanings associated with Day of the Dead sugar skulls. This activity not only fosters artistic skills but also promotes cultural understanding and appreciation.
Personalization: Each sugar skull mask is often personalized with bright colors, intricate designs, and the name of the deceased person it represents. This personalization reflects the uniqueness of each individual and their connection to the living.
