Before heading out to enjoy fun activities in nature this summer, pause to thank God for the gifts of the season. Our summer prayer placemat invites children to compose a prayer of thanks in a fun fill-in style. Pull out the big box of crayons, because even adults will want to spend time coloring the cute images and completing the activities on the sheet. Then keep the placemat handy to practice Ignatian gratitude this season, whether enjoying breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even a tasty ice-cream treat.
Print the placemat on 11” x 17” paper for best results. Click the image below to download the placemat.
Pausing to thank the Giver of gifts is a meaningful practice for the young and for the young at heart. Summer Prayer Placemat is a thoughtful little spiritual exercise.
