A pinata is a must have for a Cinco de Mayo party!  It’s a great decoration and a fun fiesta activity as well.  Fill your pinata with candies and small toys.  Your local party store will have fiesta cut-outs, mini sombrero hats and maracas for added decoration.  Your children could help you with decorations by coloring a few fiesta party coloring pages.

Be sure to pick up a CD with fiesta party music so the kids can have fun dancing at your Cinco de Mayo party.  You could try a Mexican Hat Dance as well – lay a sombrero on the floor and everyone dances while walking around the hat in a circle, call out 1 person’s name and this person moves to the middle of the circle to dance until the next person’s name is called out, then the first person can return to the circle walking around the hat.
