What is Cinco de Mayo?

While most people think Cinco de Mayo is Mexico’s Independence Day, it’s actually not.

The truth behind Cinco de Mayo is quite fascinating, you guys!

Cinco de Mayo, May 5th, recognizes Mexico’s victory over France in the Battle of Puebla.

Strangely, this simple holiday is not a federal holiday in Mexico, but is widely celebrated here in America.

All that said, the celebration of Cinco de Mayo is filled with both Mexican traditions and food.

Celebrating Cinco de Mayo

To be completely honest, I have never really celebrated Cinco de Mayo.

Maybe I used it as an excuse to eat tacos once or twice, but that’s truly it, you guys!

That said, May 5th is much more than just Cinco de Mayo to me.

May 5th is also my late dad’s birthday, and oddly enough, he loved him some tacos.

So, this year, I decided to dig in, learn a little bit about this holiday, and celebrate both my dad and a little Mexican heritage at the same time.

So, naturally, while researching and preparing, I just had to create a new freebie for you all!

This is officially my very first Cinco de Mayo blog post (and printable) ever!

All that said, I kept this one simple and fun, you guys!

First, I created a Happy Cinco de Mayo coloring page perfect for any age.

Then, I made Cinco de Mayo in squares — featuring multiple icons representing Mexican heritage.

Finally, I completed my Cinco de Mayo coloring pages with these additional options that can be found over in my Teachers Pay Teachers store!

I had fun making all of these coloring pages, and I’m beyond excited to share them with you!

Hey guys! I’m Mary, homeschool mom of 3 amazing kiddos.

I’m so excited that you decided to check out my little corner of the world!

If you have been following our journey for any length of time, you already know that I’m obsessed with coffee, organization, and all things simple.

I’m also a huge dog lover and introvert 💗

My homeschool style is very eclectic.

I enjoy a solid mixture of structure and free range. I set goals for myself and my children each week, but I put no pressure on perfection.

We use a wide variety of curriculum in our home.

Some of our current favorites are The Good and the Beautiful, Life of Fred, Beautiful Feet Books, and Lifepac.

While my kids do spend a good amount of time learning at desks, they also spend countless hours exploring their creativity and practicing a little independence.

I love mountains, rainy days, and sitting by the campfire. 

Our family recently relocated to the PNW and we have been enjoying finding new nature spots to explore together 🙌🏼

I can’t wait to connect and share all the things I’ve learned on our new journey! 

Just a Note…

Thanks for checking out the kid activities portion of the blog! 

Typically summer is the most productive time for my blog. However, our family is currently living in temporary housing and we do not see an end in sight (thank you housing marking 😪) — meaning my workspace & supplies to produce quality content it extremely limited.

I am still working, but it’s nothing like normal.

As always, we appreciate your patience!
