Crown of Thorns

One of our Lent activities is to make a dough crown of thorns. Each child made their own crown and inserted as many toothpicks as they could. The toothpicks symbolize their sins and the idea is to remove a toothpick everytime they do a good deed or sacrifice, thus taking away some of Jesus' suffering. By having a tangible object it hopefully inspires them to have an empty crown by Easter!
