This weekend we had a Dia De Los Muertos Party for the kids. Usually we have a Halloween party, but little Selina is at the that age were she is scared of anything Halloween. She is scared of our front porch decor or anything Halloween on TV. Pobrecita ?. Anyway, we decided a colorful and festive Dia De Los Muertos Party theme would do the trick, even though the actual day is not until Nov. 1st – 2nd.
Sure enough, she was totally fine and loved wearing a skeleton tee, like her brothers, despite of the heat in L.A.
Needless to say we had fun with our Day of the Dead theme and incorporated in the decor and games. I made an altar-like display for the yummy sweets.
Skull Cake! – I found this awesome cake silicone mold at Michaels Craft Store. So fun to make and decorate!
I will have a Dia De Los Muertos Skull Piñata DiY later this week or next week…keep an eye out for it! ??
Instead of “Pass the Hot Potato” game, we played “Pass the Skull” game…its a young game, but still fun.
We had Pin the Decor to the Skull…instead of Pin the Tail on the Donkey game.
We love Halloween and having a Dia De Los Muertos Party was definitely something I’ve been wanting to do for a while. Although is was W A Y too HOT for a Sunday October afternoon, the kids didn’t care. We played, laughed and ate way too much cake & sweets….the way a party that celebrates our loved ones that are no longer here would totally approve ❤️
Cheers!!
This party decor, games and your attire was way too cute. I love your creativity. ???
Super Cute! The Altar and Mariachi Day of the Dead dolls are perfection! May I ask where you bought them?
Thank you! These beautiful dolls are actually dolls I have at my home, not just seasonal decor. I got them on my last trip in Mexico City at the Museo Nacional de Antropología’s gift shop. I bought them, because I said to myself..I could totally make these…but haven’t gotten around to it. If I do I’ll let you know ?
Me encantó la piñata y no puedo esperar a ver si me sale igual. Pero lo que más amé es tu maquillaje de Catrina… good job!!! ??
I Love the sacred heart in the middle of the altar!!!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it! I will be doing a step by step tutorial on the skull piñata next week.Hope it helps.
As well as a make-up tutorial of that makeup next week, just in time for Nov. 2nd! ?? Hope you like it!

You did an awesome job! I loved everything! Where did you get the backgrounds for your altar and pictures?
Thank you! I shopped around. Mostly decor is from World Market and Michaels. Have fun this Halloween!❤️
Wonderful blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally confused .. Any tips? Thanks a lot!
