The Day of the Dead — or Día de los Muertos — is a Mexican holiday that celebrates family and acknowledges loved ones who have passed. While it used to take place in the beginning of Summer, it was moved to Oct. 31 to Nov. 2 to coincide with All Saints' Day and Halloween [1]. The best part about this "day" being three days? Your littles can extend their costume wearing and sport something sugar-skull-tastic in the days that follow Halloween.
Florals, sugar skulls, intricate headpieces, and makeup — anything goes on the Day of the Dead. Check out these 15 beautiful costumes for kiddos.
