Dia de Muertos: Paper Plate Skulls
Join the Des Plaines Park District at the library on the 4th Floor in the Forum for a colorful celebration of Día de Muertos, the Day of the Dead! Kids can decorate their own paper plate skull craft with tissue paper and honor the memories of loved ones who have passed.
These vibrantly decorated paper plate skull crafts are more than just beautiful decorations; they’re a powerful symbol of remembrance, joy, and the enduring presence of those we carry in our hearts. Enjoy festive music, a cultural slideshow, and all the decorating materials you’ll need to bring your paper plate skull craft to life.
Come celebrate life, memory, and tradition with us! Open to all ages. Kids 8 and under need a parent or guardian with them.
