H/T Just Another day in Paradise
This craft is very easy to make and also inexpensive. The total cost was about $12.00.
I started with a piece of wood about 2 1/2 feet long and hot glued 14 glass votive candles on it.
Then I printed black and white images of the 14 Stations of the Cross.
The kids cut them and used a glue stick to paste them on the glass votives.
We light all 14 candles. After we read each station, we blow out a candle, and when we get to the last station, the room is dark and somber. It has made meditating on the stations very real to us.
For the little ones, I found these printable Stations of the Cross coloring pages.
This is a great chidren's book: The Story of the Cross: The Stations of the Cross for Children
