Do your children like counting down the days until Easter? Here are a few free printable calendars we found floating around online. They help children to visualize the 40 penitential days of Lent, and can also be colored. If there is room to write on the blank squares/circles, children can write things to do, things to pray for, or citations for verses read and studied.

For all my years of being Catholic, I’ve never before seen Lenten calendars like these – they’re great!! Thank you so much for sharing.
