Printable: Grotto Craft
- Create a mini grotto with your kids using our printable template. This will help kids visualize the place where Our Lady appeared to St. Bernadette in Lourdes, France, and reflect on the miracles that took place there.
Food: French Tea Party with Madeleines, Macarons, and Croissants
- Have a French-inspired tea party with madeleines, macarons, and croissants, which are traditional French treats. We like to think of these foods as symbolizing the warmth, sweetness, and hospitality that Our Lady of Lourdes brings to all who seek her intercession.
Activity: Our Lady of Lourdes Sensory Bin
- Create a sensory bin with water to represent the healing waters of Lourdes. You can include bubbles, glitter, etc. Place “dirty” animal figurines or toy cars into the water, allowing kids to clean them and make them “new” as they reflect on the healing miracles of Lourdes. This simple activity helps children understand how God’s grace and Our Lady’s intercession bring healing and renewal.
