  1. When I click on the “see all Ash Wednesday Posts Here” link, it just brings me back to this same page.

  2. Lacy, will you be doing a roundtable collection of everyone’s ideas for Lent this year? I love some of the past posts you’ve done like that…so many great ideas out there to share. For our family – we’re doing a countdown this year made of paper rings with a family activity on each of the 40 rings to help us prepare for Easter. I’m including the link here, but if this isn’t the right forum to share, please feel free to remove :) Loving all your posts!

  3. Great ideas. I am making weekly take home booklets from Lenten Adventure for my 3rd grade. I added a word bank for the crosswords.

  4. Hi Lacy, I wanted you to know I downloaded your ever so popular Lenten Calendar and gave it to my first grade class this morning. They were excited about checking off the days until Easter. Thank you for your generosity! I blogged about my class tonight and linked back to you for your calendar. God bless!

  5. THANK YOU, thank you, thank you for your beautiful printables! I cannot wait to use your Lenten Calendar with my children. Thank you for the sacrific ideas for kids. It’s wonderful for the children to be involved in Lenten activities too. I also printed your pretzel note. I’m going to give my kids peanut butter and soft pretzels in their school lunch every Friday. Love your blog!

  6. Thanks so much for the inspiration! My family and I started a Lenten tree today. We put 40 eggs on some branches. Inside the eggs are 40 noble verses with a little treat. One of the boys will open one egg each night, and enjoy the treat, until we get to Easter!

    Hi Lacy, I want to tell you how very much I appreciate your site and the links you share. We have a ‘lenten fair’ every yearthat uses crafts and activities to teach and bring awareness of lent to our religious ed kiddos. Your site is absolutly invaluable to us for that. Because of time restraints we do need to modify some of them but without your ideas we would not know where to start so thank you so much. I don’t know how to send you a picture of what we did but I did put them on a pinterest board if you wanted to see them. Thanks again.

  8. Have been using your curriculum for 2 Sundays at home for my 2 and 4 year old daughters. Thank you so much! We are having fun and it is so easy to use. We have had a hard winter with illnesses and have not been able to make it to church like usual, so I feel better getting in at least a little “church school” every week. My 4 yr. old yelled out this morning, ” I LOVE church school!” Made my heart feel good. Thanks lacy for making it so easy to help me get started teaching my children about our faith.
