Enjoy a week full of Cinco de Mayo Toddler Activities. This is a great weekly activity guide to teach toddlers about the celebration of Cinco de Mayo.
Each day we have a book to read (or a read aloud to watch if you don't have a copy, a song or dance to enjoy and 2-3 themed activities.
We would love you to join us in our Weekly Themed Facebook Group to share your car & truck themed activities and also to share your pics over on Instagram (follow @myboredtoddler and use #myboredtoddler so we can share our favorites!).
