Tonight we made Cinco De Mayo place mats. We are going to the mountains on Saturday for a party with friends, and thought it would be fun to bring these along for decorations!!
Carson got out the chips and salsa to snack on , and even put on some music while we were crafting.

Loved this one that Makenna made!!
Carson did this one with the chili peppers!!
This craft was super easy and fun to make. At first I thought we could draw things free handed. The kids weren't sure if my cactus shape was really a cactus. So, I decided to rethink the free hand thing. I typed in Cinco De Mayo images on Google. We then printed the images and used them for the other patterns. We glued the construction paper image on a larger piece of white paper, then used scraps to decorate the mats. Last we covered it all with clear contact paper. I think these will be a fun start to the Cinco De Mayo festivities on Saturday.
Inspiration for these placemats came from the sun catcher pinata craft at:
These are awesome!!! Gets me in the spirit!
