Lenten Activities for Kindergartners
Because the concept of giving something up for the entire season of Lent can be more than overwhelming for small children, here is a calendar with daily activities that your child can do for Lent. We like to think of Lent as a season to think about God, to show love and friendship to others, and as a way to say “thank you” to Jesus.
