For Students & Teachers

DOWNLOAD the education package [PDF]

azcentral.com is proud to offer a downloadable education companion to our Dia de los Muertos site. Adults and children alike often get their first exposure to this important celebration through the colorful art, food and folk traditions of the holiday and its close association with the more common Halloween celebration.

Our goal is to educate those seeking information on this celebration through articles, original art, and interactive projects. We hope that you use this information as well the pages found on the web site to enrich young minds as well as your own.

Packet Contents:
• Bibliography
