May 5th is a day of celebration in Mexico. Celebrate by making tacos for lunch with the children. Talk about Mexico. Look at a map so the children can see where Mexico is. Discuss the different types of food eaten there, the language that is spoken, etc... You may even want to have a pinata for the party.

To Make The Tacos

Place each ingredient in a separate bowl. Line up the bowls. Have each child prepare their own taco by moving through the line. Heat if desired. Enjoy!
