Hi friend,

Lent is one of those seasons that matters—but if you’re walking through it with kids, it can also feel a little overwhelming.

Forty days is a long time.
Big themes like sacrifice, repentance, and the cross can feel heavy.
And yet… this season is such a beautiful opportunity to slow down and gently prepare our kids’ hearts for Easter.

The good news? Lent with kids doesn’t have to be complicated or intense to be meaningful. Small, consistent moments—done together—can make a big impact.

Here are a few simple, hands-on Lent resources designed to help kids engage with this season in age-appropriate, tangible ways as we journey toward Holy Week and Easter:

Lent Bible Scavenger Hunt

This guided Lent study includes 40 thoughtfully crafted questions that walk kids through key moments of Jesus’ life—His time in the wilderness, prayer, love, the Last Supper, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection.
It’s interactive, Scripture-centered, and perfect for families, classrooms, or church groups who want kids actively opening their Bibles instead of just listening.

Lent Prayer Wheel

Prayer can feel hard for kids—especially when they don’t know what to say.
​This simple prayer wheel gives kids a visual, hands-on way to pray, helping them build a daily rhythm of turning their hearts toward God.

40 Lent & Easter Bible Verses for Kids

These Easter scripture cards are arranged in order, connecting the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. They’re perfect for placing on the dinner table, reading one each day, or using as gentle conversation starters that keep Jesus at the center of the season.

Lent Random Acts of Kindness Cards

Lent isn’t only about giving things up—it’s also about living out love.
These 40 kindness card ideas give kids practical, meaningful ways to serve others as they journey toward Easter, helping faith move from words into action.

The Easter Story Cards

This set of 12 beautifully illustrated cards walks kids through the Easter story in a clear, visual way—perfect for reinforcing the gospel message as Easter approaches or for revisiting it after the celebration.

None of these are meant to add pressure to your plate. They’re simply tools—gentle ones—that help kids see, touch, and experience what Lent is really about.

If you’re looking for simple ways to make this season meaningful (without burnout), these resources are here to support you.

Grace and peace as you walk toward the cross!
