Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent. Sometimes on Ash Wednesday people use ashes to draw a cross on their foreheads, as a sign that we are sorry for the things we have done wrong and show that we trust in Jesus for forgiveness. Could you use different materials to draw or make cross shapes? Lego bricks, building blocks, or train track? Flour, sand, or powder paint on newspaper? Painting or drawing? Playdough or clay? Is there anything you could use to make a cross on your forehead? Your family could experiment with making ashes or try coffee grounds, chocolate, or facepaint.Download the full six week Lent for Families worksheet
