Holy Spirit Craft – Handprint Dove

Catholic ABC’s Week: 13 
Letter of the week: H
Theme: Holy Spirit
Saint of the Week: St. Helen
Craft: Holy Spirit Handprint Dove

H is for Holy Spirit Dove

 
As you all know, I love handprint crafts! For this one, start with a red piece of paper (the symbolic color for the Holy Spirit) and make a white handprint. Run glue up each finger (not the thumb) and attach a white feather. Add a yellow triangle beak and one googly eye- voila! A Holy Spirit Dove.
 
Dove made out a handprint, googly eyes, and feathers
 
As always, I am a huge proponent of letting children make their own crafts! So even if they’re not the most beautiful, at least it is actually their work. They were so happy with their work!

  4. I have a Sunday School class with all below Ktg. We used this to great success. Another project we used to show the invisibility of the Holy Spirit was to glue a small dove on paper and then glue layers of kleenex over it. The children knew the dove was there, but they could no longer see it.
