Edible Rosaries - October 7 - Our Lady of the Rosary

To celebrate the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, we like to make an edible rosary! This can be accomplished with just about anything: mini muffins or donuts or cereal pieces at breakfast time, nuts or goldfish crackers or dried fruit at snack time, cupcakes or candies for dessert. You just need fifty-three of one thing for the ave—or Hail Mary—beads, and six
of another thing for the pater— or Our Father—beads, plus about six of something to make the cross. We hand out a paper towel or piece of paper, a plastic bag, and the rosary fixin’s to each person, and build our rosaries before we begin. Grownups or big kids help little kids to build. Then we sit around the table and say the Rosary. We let the kids eat each “bead” as we go along or place the “bead” in their plastic bag to eat later if they prefer. Everyone really looks forward to it each year!
