In Honor of St. Francis of Assisi

Last Wednesday we went to Marci's home for:

Summer with the Saints

She had decided to feature St. Francis of Assisi this time and the children all had a wonderful time! Here is an overview of our afternoon:

~ Coloring Pictures ~

Marci had this picture available for the children to color. I also love the one by Charlotte and the ones found in this book.


~ Making Holy Cards ~

~ Craft Time ~

Making Pine Cone Bird Feeders

~ Snack Time ~

Snacks were simple this week: Cookies, Raisins, and Punch. It made me laugh when Rascal said, "Look Mom! I made a smiley face with dried up lips!"

~ Group Photo ~

When we came home my children pulled out all of our books about St. Francis and we've been looking through them all week. I also keep getting asked if we can make some more Wolf Paw Cookies!

We have plenty to keep us busy for a few days:

• St. Francis by Brian Wildsmith
• Saint Francis of Assisi by Father Lovasik
• Legends of Saints and Beasts by Ann Marie Jauss
• The Good Man of Assisi by Mary Joslin
• Francis: The Poor Man of Assisi by Tomis dePaola
• Clare and Francis by Guido Visconti
• Saint Francis and the Christmas Donkey by Robert Byrd

St. Francis of Assisi ~ Pray for Us!
