Icon Writing With Kids - The Entrance of Blessed Theotokos into the Temple
Copying icons with Alex has helped him to know feasts of the Church, stories from the Bible and Theology. I have taken icons from about our house and copied them as best I could in the limited time we have during Kristiana’s nap. I describe the scene or tell the story and then I ask him questions about it as we paint. And voila, icon writing for kids. It is a great tool for teaching the faith.

Beautiful! Where did you find the designs for the beginning of the icons?
The Wedding at Cana and The Kids With Christ, I made up. The Entrance of Blessed Theotokos Icon, I Googled and The Ladder of Divine Ascent, we have hanging in our house. I free hand drew those ones with permanent pen. I used cups to draw the halos.
