One page activity to make beautiful, colorful paper candles for your ofrenda (altar) for Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). All you need is something to color with, scissors and a glue stick. This activity allows your students to draw whatever they would like to decorate their candle, but look for my bundle if you would like some that have ready to color Dia de los Muertos images!

This is the second page of the Egyptian Scarab Beetle project- the beetle looks great on it's own, but this really takes it to the next level! All you need is something to color with, scissors and glue sticks (or tape). Excellent lesson for substitutes too! I have used this with grades 2- 5th and got both a good reception and a good result (adjusting your standards of craftsmanship of course). Wonderful for increasing those scissor skills with younger kids.
