These paper palm leaves are really easy to make from simple materials you can likely find at your local dollar store. They’re a great way to enhance the story of Palm Sunday.

You can make them with your kids and then act out the story of Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. Turn your palm leaves from Mass into crosses you can hang up on the walls of your home and use these as something more hands-on for the kids.
