40 Days of Free Lenten Printables: Stations of the Cross Minibook of Prayers

Stations of the Cross is an awesome prayerful activity to do as a family.  Many people do stations more routinely during Lent, and often on Fridays.  So I thought a pocket sized book of the prayers for Stations of the Cross would be pretty handy.

It’s not as cute as some of the other printables, but it could be fun for each kid to have their own Stations Minibook of prayers for reading and praying a long.

 

This minibook is a special one though.  There are 14 Stations, and all the prayers would not fit into a regular 7 page Minibook.  So today we’re making a double- minibook.  (Yea I just made up that term.)  Don’t worry, its basically two minibooks with one stapled inside the other. 

Fold into a minbook using the instructions below, or you can check my “How to Fold your Minibook” page.

 

Here are the instructions:

Print both pages of the minibook printable on regular paper.

Fold in half the short way. Unfold.

Fold in half again, the short, fat way. Using scissors, cut along the seam in the middle until you get to the intersection of creases.

Fold outward from the cut, and you’ll get a big x from the top.

Open the second minibook so that station 6 is on the left and station 7 is on the right side. Stack it right on top of the first minibook and staple in the middle.

Ta-da! You just took minibooks to the next level and made a mini prayer book for Stations of the Cross.  I hope you enjoyed this printable and you come back tomorrow for 3D Stations of the Cross Grotto Printables!
