Mexican Folk Art Coloring Book
Rich in beauty and originality, Mexican folk art has roots that extend back to ancient times. This collection of designs come from pottery, amate paper, carved wood, papel picado, Huichol yarn paintings, textiles and tree of lives.
We've included it in our book selection just for the wonderful Day of the Dead skull on top of an intricate papel picado cut out. There is only one Day of the Dead image in this book, but the other 29 images are all good and challenging
for the coloring book enthusiast. This is not just a little kid's coloring book! Flipping through it is like taking a short
quick trip to Mexico and enjoying the great folk art shops from San Miguel de Allende to Oaxaca!

The book comes with ofrenda altar items to make your own altar. Cut out the candles, Day of the Dead bread, flowers, sugar skulls, incense, tree-of-life, mole and hot chocolate and fold them up to decorate around the paper dolls.
