The Twelve Chosen ones...progress

Sneak previews of our children's progress on their Lenten/Liturgical year crafty projects; those of making paper dolls to represent the Twelve Chosen Apostles, and story disks to represent Saints throughout the Liturgical year.

"The Twelve Apostles" story disks with their symbols

Our children are busy beavers, busily creating, cutting, gluing, and dressing their paper dolls. It has been a pleasure to watch how focused and all absorbed they become with regards to the detailing on each project, especially once they begin to clip, trim, choose colors and symbols to represent each paper doll.

St. James the Elder
(symbols forthcoming)

St. Philip

More are almost complete, and this weekend the children exclaimed they forgot to make sandals for all of their feet. Oh my, what a dilemma!

They are also all finished their story disks, and the laminator will soon be toasty hot to protect them from this day forward.
