tortilla making in the studio

The studio welcomed the Salcedo-Roja family on Monday for tortilla making.  Grandma and Grandpa Roja were visiting from Mexico City and brought with them the vibrancy of their homeland.  Together we learned the art of tortilla making and a little about the celebrations surrounding Dia de los Muertes... including how to make a celebratory display!

In response, the studio has become a tortilla making festival complete with Mexican music and more.

 

Tortillas have been a huge hit and the children have continued making them and eating them daily.  We will keep exploring the tastes of Mexico with tortillas and pintos in the week ahead.  Ole'

If you have family traditions that you would like to share PLEASE come see me!  It enriches our program in so many ways.
