Make a sunflower to help your family track Lenten intentions.
Dear Andy,
As we prepare our hearts for Ash Wednesday, now is the perfect time to teach the children in your life about the true meaning of Lent.
As a gift to your family, we’ve created a free Lenten Activity Guide that will help teach the children in your life about this holy season. Each activity is designed to bring your family closer to the heart of Christ while providing practical ways to serve those in need.
One activity in the guide helps children track their Lenten intentions by making a paper sunflower. This craft will be completed over the 40 days of Lent. Paper petals are added each week, giving children a place to track their prayers, sacrifices and good deeds.
To make your own paper sunflower, click the link below.
On Ash Wednesday, as you receive the sign of the cross on your forehead, may it inspire and remind you to spend this Lent drawing nearer to Jesus through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Read more about how to prepare your heart for Lent on our blog.
