It’s no secret that Faith and Family readers are some of the smartest, coolest, wisest people you’ll ever meet. Every issue of Faith and Family magazine proves that when we publish your input and advice in our regular reader “homework” sections.
As an ongoing project here on the blog, we plan to glean some of our readers’ wisdom and ideas by compiling some “Top Ten” lists on a variety of topics.
The first one we’d like to do is a Top 10 Lenten Observances for Kids. We’ll collect ideas here in the comments and later post a poll so you can rank your favorites.
Why don’t you get us started? Tell us what kinds of things (from traditional ideas to innovative ones) you have your kids do to observe the season of Lent.
