This activity is called Last Supper Craft and comes to us from a Web site called Catholic Icing. It is ideal preparation for Holy Thursday and is based on Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper Painting. The nice thing is that Lacy, the host of the Web site, is kind enough to share her printables which make this craft possible. She has a nice tutorial that leads you step by step through creating this simple work of art. Thanks, Lacy!

While designed for use with primary grades, the sheet can also provide a relaxing coloring break for older students. Explain that Jesus is present in the consecrated Bread and Wine at Mass. Extend this activity in the classroom using some of these ideas. Read aloud Luke 22:14–20, the Last Supper. For the story adapted […]

In this segment, watch for the following: Nick describes his own drawing and uses some self-deprecating humor designed to put those who are not good drawers at ease. Nick invites the children to share their drawings if they wish and to describe what they emphasized. Unfortunately, most […]

did this project last week for our 3rd grade communion class. did alot of the prep work ahead of time and it turned out to be a beautiful project! thank you for your great idea and for sharing.
Great to hear!
We are planning on using the Last Supper craft this year at our annual
Religious Art Festival (we display religious art)that we have the Sunday before Lent begins. We purchased a giclee print of Davinci’s portrait and will have it on hand near the project.
Can’t wait to see how it turns out.
