I am in need of ideas for making lap/notebooks for Confirmation. I am searching the web and finding nothing for young children.
I know you are all a wealth of ideas so PLEASE help me, I am getting VERY frustrated.
The ages are 10,9,8
Saints are, Rose of Lima, Therese, and Joan of Arc

Any and all ideas, regardless if you think they are obvious are needed.

We made Confirmation lapbooks last year - the kids were nearly 15, 10, `13. We included a mini book with the bio of their confirmation saint, a flip book with the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit, some art work relating to confirmation and to the Mass. I can see if I can post some pics on the blog, if you'd like....

Chicken lady,
We're looking into Confirmation for our ds (soon 8) too.

If we are doing it this coming spring, then I know for sure I'm using My Path to Heaven,by Geoffry Bliss, perhaps as a sort of retreat. We'll also be doing a consecration to the Holy Spirit. I have a great prayer, though so far, no prep for that.
Any ideas on that, ladies?

You could include in a notebook illustrations of the gifts and fruits, also pages on sections of the Creed.

A lovely resource is I believe: The Nicene Creed, ill. Pauline Baynes. Might inspire some illuminated artwork!
