Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with fun diy crafts, worksheets and decorations!

Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday which began as a regional celebration of the defeat of the French Army by Mexican soldiers at the battle of Puebla in 1862. Cinco de Mayo is now a worldwide celebration, and whether or not you are of Mexican heritage, it is a chance to celebrate all things Mexican!
