“Navidad” at Kindergarten Escuela para el Futuro in León, Mexico

The students of KG Escuela para el Futuro in León, Mexico, welcomed the holiday season with joy and traditional Mexican festivities. To embrace the spirit of Christmas, they crafted colorful piñatas inspired by iconic holiday figures such as the Nutcracker, Santa Claus, and the Grinch. True to tradition, these piñatas were filled with an assortment of candies and later broken open with a wooden stick while the children sang the traditional piñata song. As part of their activities, the students also created handmade Christmas cards. Following the popular “Secret Santa” tradition, they exchanged these cards, adding a touch of mystery and excitement to the celebration.
