Rosaries

Back in October, we celebrated the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary by making a candy corn/pumpkin rosary. The kiddos had such a great time counting and laying out all of the candies, that we decided to do the same only with candy hearts - little Sweet Tart ones for the Hail Mary Beads and larger chocolate ones for the Our Father's.

*Forgive the blurriness - this was done with my phone that was recently introduced to the toilet!

 The kiddos sorted the sweet tarts by color and then counted out 10 of each. We then chose the chocolates. The kiddos were given the option of using different ones or the same ones, and they chose to use all of the purple/pink ones. They sorted out all of those and then we were on our way to making the Rosary!

Before we began, I told the kiddos that we were going to be praying for Precious Jack as we laid out the Rosary and glued everything down. We made it through the entire Rosary before the first wimper of not wanting to pray anymore! I was quite proud of them all!

*Again, forgive the blurriness - this was done with my phone that was recently introduced to the toilet!

In 3 of the 4 corners, Robert, Hannah, and Wesley drew a picture of Holy Mary. In the final corner, we wrote "Our Family Rosary." We had a great time making it and praying it for Jack!
