Cinco de Mayo is another opportunity to have a celebration and to create moments of joy for those with dementia

Start by getting a picture book like the one shown above. Have a discussion about Cinco de Mayo. There is information on the May page Make up some trivia questions using the information

Make some easy Mexican dishes such as tacos, tortilla chips and salsa, or refried beans. Or you can be adventurous and make something in the cook book below

Do not forget the Mexican music. You can play it as you are cooking


Top the celebration off with an arm chair trip to Mexico by showing a DVD about Mexico like the one shown below


Tomorrow, something special

    Oh, I forgot Cinco de Mayo on my list of April Celebrations. I love Mexican food - I have an easy, great recipe for chicken enchiladas.
