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!

5 Comments on 40 Ideas for 40 Days – Lenten Activities: Last Supper Craft
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.
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.
