Holy Week Crafts

Holy Week is a super important time to keep the true focus of the year with Christian kids! Beginning on Palm Sunday and running through Spy Wednesday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, & Holy Saturday- you don’t want to miss any of these important events when making plans with your kids for the week. You can find all of my Holy Week resources for families here. Today, let’s take a look at these meaningful Holy Week crafts. 

Holy Week In Handprints– have your kids illustrate the story of

Holy Week from the Bible using handprint illustrations.

You can find my Holy Week eggs here. I designed them to be a “Catholic” version of Resurrection eggs, but later on I ended up designing a different set for the Stations of the cross as well. You can find that farther down the post.

  3. Hi Lacy~Oh darn, I saw your Holy Week linky was closed. This was a fun newspaper art project. Just thought I’d share since you enjoy interesting art. I was skeptical at first but LOVED the results! Blessings to you!

    Great ideas to get the children involved during Holy Week! I especially like the last supper reconstruction. Was this made just using card and fabric?
