Tips for Parents and Teachers

Play traditional mariachi or upbeat Latin pop music in the background while the children color to create an immersive cultural atmosphere.
Use the pictures as a jumping-off point to talk about Mexican geography, food, and historical celebrations like Cinco de Mayo or Dia de los Muertos.
Encourage kids to use non-traditional colors—who says a cactus has to be only green? Let their imaginations run wild with rainbow patterns and polka dots!
Laminate the finished colored pages to create vibrant, reusable placemats for your next taco night dinner.
