How do we even begin to explain Lent to young children? Making Jesus Smile During Lent gives Seeds children a series of everyday situations and invites them to determine whether the reaction is pleasing to Jesus. Living Lent helps Promise children understand the activities that help make their faith strong—praying; reflecting on Scripture; going to Mass; and listening to parents, teachers, and priests. Finally, Symbols for Lent and Holy Week walks Good News children through traditional signs of the season—including palms and candles. All activities for Seeds, Promise, and Good News are available to download and print in Spanish and English.
