Dia de Los Muertos is fast approaching and I wanted to share an activity I did with the kids. I found this gem on Pinterest and knew it would be perfect for hot chocolate. Few supplies are needed which is always a plus.  I picked up a few coffee mugs at our local dollar store, handed the kiddos a few sharpies and we were on our way!
I did try to print, cut and transfer a skull stencil to the mug, but found it difficult to maneuver. Free hand was the best option. The kids had a blast and I had colorful new coffee mugs to enjoy with my morning coffee.
Gotta love that!!
I went with 80’s glam sharpie markers…. the color were FUN~~
A thick steamy cup of Mexican Hot Chocolate…. they look amazing, give them a try!
Cute and a very fun DIY project with the kids!
I just love this holiday! Ever since we studied this holiday in school, it has always been one of my favorites. And this is a perfect project to celebrate!
These mugs are too darn cute! I love this idea! I can’t wait to make these with my kiddies. 🙂
Even though my heritage is not Hispanic, I adore Dia de los muertos! Growing up, my friends celebrated it and I fell in love with the holiday! Halloween is just a little too bland when compared with Dia de los muertos!
I can’t wait to see what other foods you cook up this time of year! I’ll be cooking along with you 🙂
that is sooo cool. i must do this with my son!
I’ve been wanting to do my own mugs with sharpies… I have a tea one and I love it. Need one for coffee!
What a fun idea! I’m going to have to pass this idea to a friend who works at a children’s museum. These would be a great thing for the art department to do!
Very cool!
What a great idea!!! I would love to do that!
I love this I think the kids and I can totally make these thanks so much for sharing amiga!
Yum! What a great looking mug of chocolate!
