The Road To Easter: Holy Week Activities for Little Ones

Our Lent activities consisted mainly on stories and re-telling them. And so will our Holy Week activities. We will be continuing our family traditions, from both sides of our families and make new ones - our new nuclear family. But of course we will be doing some easy activities to show God we love him. I have made a road map to guide us as we learn about Jesus' journey to the cross and until His resurrection. You can download it here .
