FREE RESOURCE : DIY LENTEN CALENDARS

DIY Lenten Calendar - Daily Prompts (with parent GUIDE)

Download PDF

DIY LENTEN CALENDAR - INSTRUCTIONS

SUPPLIES


  • 46 mini envelopes 
  • 46 mini clothespins
  • 12ish feet of twine
  • Daily Prompts with Parent Guide - print or download HERE
  • Candy or other treat - 6 pieces per child (optional)



INSTRUCTIONS


  • Print the Daily Prompts and cut into quarter-sheets.
  • Stuff each envelope with a prompt and label the outside of the envelope with the number. Invite kids to help with labeling and decorating. 
  • Remember that Sundays are not included in the 40 days of Lent, so they are counted and labeled differently: 

 

1-4 / SUNDAY / 5-10 / SUNDAY / 11-16 / SUNDAY / 17-22 / SUNDAY / 23-28 /  SUNDAY / 29-34 / SUNDAY / 35-40


  • Optional : Include treats in the Sunday envelopes.
  • Attach the twine to a wall, mantle, window, etc. If you don’t have a large enough space for one straight line (probably 12ish feet), you can make multiple rows.
  •  Attach the envelopes to the twine, in order, with clothespins.
  • Read the Parent Guide before Lent begins. This will help you understand the prompts.
  • Open one envelope each day. Dinnertime is my suggestion, except for Sundays when morning may be better for celebration-planning.
