Our Lent calendar for the daycare centre

Mindfulness exercises, craft ideas, customs, games: Experience and shape the Lent season with children.

For many adults, the 40 days leading up to Holy Saturday provide time for introspection and a conscious limitation of their needs. With the Lent calendar for daycare centers, children aged three and up can learn about the significance of Lent customs. Creative ideas, spiritual impulses, and religious background knowledge alternate, making the time before Easter special in the daycare!

32 cards with activities for the Lent days in daycare, beautifully illustrated, including a 16-page accompanying booklet. Diverse themes: endings and new beginnings, being mindful, sharing, togetherness, and much more. Picture cards with craft ideas, quiet exercises, games, and songs for Lent that align with the kindergarten year: One card for each of the 32 working days in daycare. Background knowledge for educators on customs and religion. Varied ideas for morning circles and thematic sessions in daycare.

The practical set contains all the information you need for a playful and child-friendly introduction to the spiritual backgrounds of Lent. The accessible offerings of the Lent calendar are easy to implement and do not require special religious knowledge. Since fasting does not necessarily mean abstaining from food, but can also involve a conscious renunciation of cherished things or actions, children can contribute their own ideas and experiences. This way, religion and spirituality become tangible in children's everyday lives!.
