Some of the books we used:
This is a book about a girl who is told she cannot become a glass blower, so we also found some videos of glass blowing in Mexico on YouTube.
This pairs nicely with the Flight of the Butterfly documentary we watched when we learned about Canada:
We also made a day of the dead altar craft from a book we got from the library and watched
while we ate some take-out Mexican food.
For another craft, we found paper flowers plans in a multicultural craft book I had:
Basically we just raided the tissue paper gift wrap stash and cut blobbly circles from various colors and stacked, punched holes and made pipe cleaner stems, then we put them all in a vase for our table for a few weeks.
