And if you want some tips for a family Mardi Gras celebration everyone can enjoy, we’ve got a few for you here.
Mardi Gras King Cake With Cinnamon Rolls

Then follow the directions and you’ll be all set to celebrate – at least as far as dessert is concerned.
Mardi Gras Kids Mask
Masks are a big part of the Mardi Gras celebration. Cut out a mask from card stock for your kids. Then use the following to complete it: elastic, sequins, feathers, glitter, glue, curling ribbon, paint, a pallet tray, and a hole punch.
