The signs of spring can help young children begin to understand some of the mysteries of the Easter season, including death and resurrection. Help Seeds children understand that the seasons are a gift from God, like all their many blessings. Distribute the Saying Thank You / Dar gracias activity, along with crayons or markers, and invite the children to color in the cross as they wish. Then help them to cut out their crosses. Encourage them to post them in their rooms near to where they may say daily prayers. Explain that saying thank you to God is one of the most important ways to pray.
