Art and Craft Projects for the Lenten Season
If you are aware of sites that feature Lenten arts or crafts, and that have directions on how to make them, please let me know and I will include them in this article.
I'm sure there are many school teachers and home school teachers that would appreciate more choices for arts and crafts for the Lenten season.
For the instructions for the Lenten Crosses project shown above, go to Kids & Glitter.
Contents at a Glance
Fish Mobile
This is a very simple, yet attractive, project that the kids will love to make and you'll want to display it. Go to Catholic Icing for the directions.
Lenten Symbols Box
A nice little Lenten box to hold sacrificed savings to donate on Easter Sunday. Directions for this project can be found at Kids & Glitter.
Remember
This is a very appropriate project to be doing at this time. The author of this project chose the word "remember" because it reminds us that Peter recalled, or remembered, the words of Jesus when he heard the rooster crow for the third time. You'll find this project at Impress Your Kids.
Stations of the Cross Votives
This is a beautiful family or classroom project. Directions and photo downloads can be found at Homeschool Goodies.
