During the Day of the Dead celebration, we are not only reminded of loved ones that are no longer with us, but we are also given an opportunity to enjoy delicious dishes. Traditionally, an altar is assembled with flowers and pictures in honor of lost loved ones along with offerings like pan de muerto. One way to involve the kids in the celebration is by preparing some dishes for the celebration. These sugar skulls made with cereal and marshmallows are so simple to prepare that you can have them ready in about 15 minutes so the little ones can decorate.
