Making cascarones is an exciting and colorful Mexican tradition at Easter. Eggshells are emptied, filled with confetti, and covered with tissue paper. But that’s just where the fun starts. Once ready, kids can break the shells on their playmates, showering them with confetti. This Spanish song for kids – CASCARONES – teaches how cascarones are made and words associated with this great cultural tradition. The song, performed by Jorge Anaya, is from Whistlefritz’s CD ¡BUENOS DÍAS!

EMPIEZA POR VACIAR UNOS HUEVOS
HACIENDO EN LA PUNTA UNOS HOYOS
SE SECAN PARA LUEGO PINTARLOS
Y DE CONFETI LLENARLOS
