Spend less time planning, and more time exploring the Sundays of Great Lent, while working on creative projects together with the children.
The kit contains printed templates for each Sunday of Great Lent. We are also offering additional resources to help organize enriching religious education sessions.
Teach about the Orthodox Great Lent in a HANDS-ON, MULTISENSORY, AESTHETICALLY PLEASING way, that children and adults will remember for years to come!
At home, one craft can be done every Sunday of Great Lent, while exploring the day’s celebrated theme.
At Sunday School or at a Great Lent retreat, the crafts can be done together as a teaching unit on Great Lent.
This kit includes all the paper templates, but to complete the crafts you will need:
-
Crafting staples such as scissors, glue, and tape. Double-sided tape is also very useful.
-
Some ribbon and/or yarn.
-
Pony beads and an LCD votive candle are optional.
-
Some of the crafts can be additionally embellished with materials of your choice (ribbons, pompoms, buttons etc.)
During Great Lent, the crafting tutorials for each Sunday’s craft will be uploaded on the Orthodox Pebbles website on the previous Monday. You can access the tutorials and more here: https://orthodoxpebbles.com/lent-craft-kit-tutorials
