Crown of Thorns

Last year, this Lenten project was so popular and efficacious that today we again made a salt dough crown of thorns. Let's hope it again inspires my kiddos to run around all Lent looking for good deeds to do . . . they're not so keen on sacrifices yet, but they do like to do good deeds.

When the kids do a good deed or make a sacrifice, they get to remove a thorn from Jesus' crown, to make him feel better. At the end of Lent, we will decorate the crown with sparkles and faux gemstones so Jesus has a beautiful crown in Heaven.
