Day of the Dead Sugar Skull Key Chain Craft Kit (12 Pack)

Day of the Dead Sugar Skull Key Chain Craft Kit lets kids turn colorful foam flowers, playful facial details, and wiggly eyes into one-of-a-kind sugar skull keychains they can proudly clip onto backpacks, bags, and keys.

Celebrate Color, Creativity & Culture With a Sugar Skull They Can Carry

Give craft time a colorful twist with these DIY sugar skull keychains! Each project starts with a white foam skull that kids can transform using bright decorative foam shapes, cheerful flowers, expressive facial features, and wiggly eyes. The result is a playful, personalized accessory that celebrates creativity while introducing an important cultural art tradition.

Inspired by the decorative sugar skull imagery associated with Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, this craft invites children to explore vibrant colors, floral patterns, symmetry, and individual expression. Kids can arrange the foam pieces into matching designs, mix contrasting colors, or create completely different personalities for their skulls.

The kit includes white foam skull bases, colorful foam decorations, wiggly eyes, and purple keychain clips with metal rings. Kids assemble their designs with foam glue, then attach the included keychain hardware to create a finished accessory that is both decorative and useful.

Each finished project measures 6 ¾", including the keychain hardware, making it a noticeable decoration for backpacks, school bags, tote bags, and other personal belongings. The lightweight foam design makes it easy for kids to show off their artwork wherever they go.

With enough materials to create 12 keychains, this kit is especially useful for schools, after-school programs, cultural celebrations, libraries, recreation centers, and group craft sessions. It also provides a hands-on way to discuss the artistic traditions of Día de los Muertos, including the use of colorful skull imagery to honor and remember loved ones.
