Well, the month of May ends today, but our celebration continues through June with the feasts of Pentecost and the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts fast approaching.
Here is one last May project perfect for a large group and adaptable for just about any feast day.
Begin with a craft store find--heart shaped plastic bottles meant for colored sand art:
Have the children decorate the bottles with bits of colored tissue, small holy pictures, silk flowers, and anything else you have on hand. In the end, each child will have a Holy Water bottle that doubles as a necklace!
This is the only photo I have of the children's endeavors, but they certainly enjoyed this fun and economical project.
Cost per project: under $1 (bottles 50 cents each).
What a cool project!! I'll have to put this in my folder of ideas.
