Let’s Make A Nicho!

Here’s an activity perfect for Día de Muertos, developed for the San Antonio Public Library and available for your use. Nichos, also know as retablos, are a type of folk art popular throughout Latin America. They are often devotional, but also quirky and include images of pop culture figures. Resembling dioramas, nichos are made from common household objects and craft materials. Feel free to utilize the attached instructions & templates, with credits to me. Be in touch if you’d like me to facilitate this activity for your group!
