Catholic Crafts and More for Kids
Ya, I'm pretty much obsessed with the idea of Liturgical Sundaes because they're so easy! This coming Sunday is Trinity Sunday (the Sunday following Pentecost), so without further adieu, I give you the Trinity Sundae: Neapolitan ice cream was a no-brainer: 3 flavors, one ice cream. The trinity: 3 persons, one God. I also set out shamrock doilies left from St. Patrick's Day because the … [Read more...]
The church year is so intricate and beautiful! And sometimes... a little hard to keep up with haha. Before Catholic Icing was my full time job, there was so much that I failed to understand about the church year, but I'm here to bring you in on a little secret today; there is a whole string of super cool feast days following Pentecost Sunday! So I made the little image above to help … [Read more...]
So my new thing is that I'm posting a new Catholic how-to-draw video each Friday for Catholic kids on my YouTube channel. I'm super excited about it! With Trinity Sunday coming up fast, I thought drawing a Trinity shield would be perfect! I love the idea behind a Trinity shield because it shows exactly what the Trinity is. It helps me to understand it anyway. I made this particular Trinity … [Read more...]
With Trinity Sunday right around the corner, I thought it would be a good time to round up these Trinity resources! Of course, I'd say the most famous reference to the Trinity is St. Patrick with his shamrock, but I just can't seem to get in the shamrock mood in the Summer time. It's just a March kinda thing for me. So... I'm going to keep this post St. Patrick and shamrock free. You can find … [Read more...]
I love celebrating feast days with kids with really fun food or recipes! Palm Sunday is always a big day at our house, and celebrating with ice cream sundaes is not only fun, but also easy for mom! You can find all of my holy week food ideas for kids here. I'm such a fan of the Sunday/Ice Cream Sundae pun (obviously. See my Divine Mercy Sundaes, Trinity Sundaes, and Pentecost Sundaes). … [Read more...]

In continuing with our series Passing on the Catholic Faith to Your Kids, I wanted to touch on setting up a home altar. When I first heard the term home altar, I felt a little scared. I didn't know what I was doing, and the idea of setting up an official "altar" felt out-of-my-league. Sometimes home altars are also referred to as family altars, prayer tables, or altar tables. Don't let these names … [Read more...]
Happy June, everyone! I wanted to round up everything that's useful for this June and put it in one post for you. Our First Friday linky is at the bottom of the post can't wait to see what you all have to share! The dates of some of these Liturgical days change from year to year (based on when Easter is) so these dates are for the year 2012. June 3- Feast of The Most Holy Trinity Triangle … [Read more...]
I often find religious stuff at the Dollar Tree, and was inspired to bring you guys a "Dollar Store Haul" post (fashioned after Heather's posts at Dollar Store Crafts). So here are some Catholic things you can currently be stocking up on at the Dollar Tree. (Products do vary some from store to store). For those of you who don't already shop at the Dollar Tree, everything is $1. So you should … [Read more...]
I love coming up with fun and creative ways to celebrate the church year with kids, and October is full of fun Saint feast days to celebrate! Some of these feast days include St. Francis, St. Therese, and the feast day of the guardian angels! The month of October is also dedicated to the rosary. You can find all of my month to month post on living liturgically here. Now let's look at these … [Read more...]
