This week I wanted to bring you something you could use for Lent, and a pretzel seemed like just the thing! We love to make big soft pretzels during Lent, and now the kids can use this video for drawing their own Lenten pretzel prayer cards! I have a printable version of the Lenten pretzel prayer along with my recipe for soft pretzels here. Pretzels can be tricky to draw because of the way they overlap, but I came up with a good method that even kids can follow for how to draw a pretzel.
You can find all of my Catholic how-to-draws here, and be sure to subscribe to my weekly newsletter so you know always know when a new video comes out!
This is a great way to learn about the old customs or making pretzels during Lent, and you can watch the full video here- how to draw a pretzel.
Post continues after this brief information about the Catholic Icing Monthly Membership
Monthly Liturgical Membership
The origional shape of a pretzel was made to emulate arms crossed in prayer, so really the “true” shape of a pretzel is what most of us would consider upside down. Feel free to add this little Lenten prayer to your pretzel drawings!
A pretzel to remind us of
arms crossed in prayer
is a Lenten treat for
us to share
I hope that this free resource for Catholic kids helps with your Lenten celebrations for this year! You can find my other Lenten activities for kids here.
