This year, we're taking Lent outdoors with 40 super simple activity cards for all ages to explore. All the activities are nature-based, with most requiring no preparation or additional resources. You'll find things to do in all weathers, activities to enjoy during different times of the day, & you can pick & choose which activities you wish to explore.
I've designed these activities with younger children in mind, but they're easily adaptable for older children with a range of fun things to discover during Lent.
The cards are an ideal size for young children to hold & allow them to take ownership of the activity.
Among the activities, you'll find a few focusing specifically on key days during Lent, such as Maundy Thursday & Good Friday, but the majority can be explored any time over the 40 days, so you can choose which are best for your family situation.

Simply print on white paper or card & cut out the activities. Alongside the printable cards, you'll also find Easter Egg templates, which can be used for one of the activities.
You could use the Lent cards to create a game by hiding them each day for children to find, or keep the cards in a jar for them to pick one out; the choice is yours.
However you explore them, I hope you & your family enjoy discovering our amazing planet & the wonder of creation as you journey through Lent towards Easter.
