Annotation: Latin American celebrations--rich in cultural significance and Latin history--present opportunities throughout the calendar year to reach out to all populations with engaging programs and activities. The easy-to-organize projects in this book are organized around important Latino holidays and are inspired by artesenfas (Latino folk art) traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation. And, because each project is tied to literature, kids get the reading bug early! With more than 75 detailed illustrations and step-by-step instructions for making masks, cornhusk dolls, beads, paper flowers, pinatas, and Incan headdresses, the creative activities in this book don't require expensive or exotic materials. Also included are easy recipes for such delectables as tamales and gorditas. Each chapter includes an activity for preschoolers, after-schoolers (over 6 years old), and families (all ages). Related resources help you to turn each craft project into a comprehensive program by incorporating songs, poems, and books.
