KING & QUEEN’S CROWNS
Once the White Witch is defeated, Lucy, Susan, Edmond and Peter are crowned Kings and Queens of Narnia. Make a regal crown out of cardboard or card stock. Decorate with jewels, stickers, feathers, paper, etc.

WOODEN WARDROBE
Lucy and her siblings find Narnia through and old wardrobe. Make your own mini wardrobe out of a small chest and glue a photo of Aslan inside!

CHRISTMAS GIFTS
Once Peter, Edmond, Lucy and Susan arrive in Narnia, signs of Spring – and Aslan’s return – start appearing. Saint Nicholas even shows up with gifts for the siblings. Peter gets a sword and shield, Susan a bow and arrows and a magic horn, and Lucy a healing cordial and a dagger. Our Catholic faith also gives us gifts to help us along the journey. Make Christmas or Catholic crafts.

SNOW GLOBE
The White Witch covered all of Narnia in snow. It is always winter and never Christmas. Make a snow globe with Aslan, with the child & Aslan, or with the child & Santa inside.

FORGIVENESS CRAFTS
Edmond collaborated with the White Witch and almost got his brothers and sisters captured. He was lied to, but he was also jealous of his brother Peter. Aslan rescued him from the White Witch and forgave him for betraying his family. In the same way, God is merciful and forgiving.

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
The Wardrobe is the doorway into Narnia and this is where the siblings meet Aslan. The wardrobe can remind us of the Tabernacle – the home of Jesus in Catholic Churches across the globe. Make a tabernacle craft with a Spiritual Communion prayer inside.

SACRIFICE CRAFTS
Aslan gave his life for Edmond, and to free all of Narnia. He made a heroic sacrifice and we can follow in his footsteps by making our own small sacrifices.
