This learning set made of soft fleece from Orthodox Pebbles teaches kids about the parables that are read in the weeks leading up to Lent: the Parable of the Publican and the Pharisee and the Parable of the Prodigal Son.
The finished set consists of:
– Fourteen learning pieces.
– A background mat, which can also be used to store the pieces.
Using this fabric set, children will learn the story of each parable and also get familiar with the following Orthodox concepts:
-
God truly loves us, His children. When we commit sin, He is always ready to accept us back into His house, after we have sincerely repented.
-
Humility is crucial in this process – true repentance brings about a humble heart which is then free to accept the love of God.
-
Inside the Church, repentance and forgiveness are experienced through the Sacrament of Holy Confession.
Making your own learning set is a very easy DIY project. The preparation mostly involves cutting the pieces, all the instructions are printed on the fabric, and, depending on your preference, there is very little or no sewing required.
Each learning set comes with an exclusive code that gives you access to craft tutorials, lesson plans, and bonus activities that go along with the Triodion Parables DIY craft kit. To access these resources, please visit: https://orthodoxpebbles.com/new-testament/pascha-fabric-set/
