Catholic ABC’s Week: 13
Letter of the week: H
Theme: Holy Spirit
Saint of the Week: St. Helen
Craft: Holy Spirit Handprint Dove
As you all know, I love handprint crafts! For this one, start with a red piece of paper (the symbolic color for the Holy Spirit) and make a white handprint. Run glue up each finger (not the thumb) and attach a white feather. Add a yellow triangle beak and one googly eye- voila! A Holy Spirit Dove. The one above was made by my 4 year old daughter. The one below was made by my 2 year old son.
Grab Bag Ideas for the Letter Hh: (be sure to check out the Classroom Scriptfor directions on using the grab bag.) Horse, Hat, Hairbrush, Happy face, Hippo, Headband.
