A steps page that explains how small decorated boxes hold candy during Día de los Muertos, with the supply list and numbered directions, and a treat box template decorated with a candle, a monarch butterfly, pan de muerto, a guitar and a xolo dog.

Can I use the Calavera Treat Box Craft at home and in the classroom?

⌄

Yes. We made it for 1st Grade to 5th Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

2 printable resources, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

What age are Día de los Muertos resources for?

⌄

These are written for 1st Grade to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 6-11. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Can I use these Día de los Muertos resources for homeschool?

⌄

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 1st Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
