Sugar Skull Templates for a Writing and Decorating Project

This is a super fun project to do at the end of October before Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). The download includes 3 different sugar skulls templates for students to choose from.

After choosing their skull, they decorate them in such a way that it represents themselves. This download also includes 2 writing papers (1 scaffolded and 1 final draft style) that prompts kids to write about how they decorated their skulls.

Keep the skulls and final drafts and hang them in the hall- it makes for a great bulletin board!
