A universal celebration of Mexican culture, any Cinco de Mayo party is sure to come complete with a variety of delicious and exotic food; including some downright delicious homemade cookies!
Although Cinco de Mayo commemorates that day back in 1862 when Mexican troops defeated the French in a landmark battle fought in the city of Puebla, Mexico, perhaps the most famous homemade cookies hailing from this culture stand as a celebration of love, not war. Indeed, Mexican wedding cookies are scrumptious confections enjoyed around the world—and, as an added bonus, they are not difficult to make. They are perfect little moon-shaped cookies made of sugar, butter, flour and vanilla extract. Mexican wedding cookies take very little time to prepare and stand as international symbols of Mexican culture.
Aside from some delightful and culturally significant homemade cookies, Cinco de Mayo Coloring Pages would make another beautiful accent to any Cinco de Mayo festivity. They could show images of Mexican dancers, hoofing it up to exotic stylings such as the mariachi and folklorico, or of Cinco de Mayo parades that come complete with colorful floats. Cinco de Mayo Coloring Pages also could depict images of the Mexican flag, Fiesta hats and guitars, and chili peppers, vibrant hanging lanterns and piñatas. When it comes to these Cinco de Mayo Coloring Pages—indeed, to any celebration of this colorful holiday, the more color the better. Be sure to have lots of bright red, gold, green and orange crayons on hand for maximum effect—and have fun!
