This is a fun craft for kids for a May Crowning, whether at the church or in your home. And it turns out just beautiful!
It’s been a while since I’ve had a Preschool curriculum post, but I had to take some time off for Easter. I can only handle so much at once! 😉 We’re getting close to the end of the alphabet, and that means coming up with stuff for the “weird letters”, which I have been putting off. I’ll admit that I would have rather done “Vestments” or “Vatican” for the letter V, but our preschool co-op has been doing “Virgin Mary” for years and this craft was designed by Denise who used to teach my class before me.
Supplies needed to Complete this Craft:
Printed out picture of Mary
Fun foam
Scissors
Post continues after this brief information about the Catholic Icing Monthly Membership
Monthly Liturgical Membership
Sharpie Marker
Foam Stickers (optional)
Fake flowers on wire (look in the wedding section of your craft store)
Cut your foam sheets into a long rectangle with a hole for a door knob. You can actually buy pre-made door hanger foam things from the Dollar Tree 3 for $1 if you’d rather not cut them yourself. Print out Mary pictures for the kids, and trace around the outside with a sharpie. (This gives them a good line to cut on). Have them cut and glue Mary onto the foam, then take the wire flowers and poke them through the foam around Mary’s head to crown her with flowers. Decorate with additional foam stickers, and write “Virgin Mary” with a sharpie.
