The Crosses of Calvary

I need to send a hat tip to Ramblings of a Crazy Woman for passing along this simple craft.

All that this very nice craft for Good Friday needed was:

thin craft sticks and thick craft sticks

brown and purple paint

glue

playdough or clay

a suitable container

green Easter grass

First you paint the crafts sticks brown and then glue them together into crosses. I just broke the cross beam craft stick with my fingers, but I realized when I used scissors to cut the "sign" to hang above Jesus' cross that this is a very easy way to cut them.
While I did the craft sticks with the littles, Laura painted a terracotta pot purple and filled it with homemade playdough--this I always have on hand. We then stuck some green Easter grass into the clay.
We than added the crosses and more grass to the pot . I think I will drape the cross of Jesus with a white cloth for Easter morning. Thank you Jennwa for passing along this great craft.
