Calaveras, skulls - Day of the Dead - Other special days - Page 2 (26 colouring pages)

The traditional Day of the Dead celebration, which originated in Mexico, is somewhat akin to Halloween; the "Día de los Muertos" is particularly prominent in Hispanic countries.
The festival generally spans three days: from 31st October to 2nd November.
The principle of "Día de los Muertos" is to remember the deceased in a joyful manner: by decorating cemeteries with flowers and food, creating altars adorned in memory of the dead in homes...
Mexican beliefs state that death is merely a stage of life.
During "Día de los Muertos," the streets are adorned in towns, there are music groups, people dance and dress up, and sugary treats in the shape of skulls (calaveras) and skeletons are made.

This colouring page features several calaveras, which are artistically decorated skulls often associated with the Mexican celebration of Dia de los Muertos. The calaveras are colourful and adorned with cheerful and festive patterns. Each calavera can be personalised with a short message or a name before being printed, allowing children to add a personal touch to their creation. Here are some examples of child-friendly messages that can be added to the calaveras: "Fiesta de colores" (Festival of Colours) "Sonrisas eternas" (Eternal Smiles) "Día de diversión" (Fun Day) "Amigos siempre" (Friends Forever) "Recuerdos alegres" (Joyful Memories) "Amor familiar" (Family Love) "Risas y alegría" (Laughter and Joy) "Viva la vida" (Live the Life) "Día especial" (Special Day) "Tradición y cultura" (Tradition and Culture)
