What does May 5 mean?
On May 5, 1862, the Mexican Army surprised everyone by beating the French at the Battle of Puebla. This holiday is celebrated to honor that success. In pop culture, Cinco de Mayo is often mistaken for Mexico’s Independence Day, but it’s really a day of Mexican history and pride, especially in Puebla and among Mexican-Americans in the US.

How to Get the Best Coloring Results
Pick the Right Tools: For younger kids, crayons are easier to handle. For bigger kids and adults, markers and colored pencils are better for more detailed work.
Be creative: mix colors in a bold way. Cinco de Mayo is a time to party and be happy.
Improve the look of your coloring by adding texture. Stippling and cross-hatching are two methods that can help you do this.
