Catholic Crafts and More for Kids
We have been continuing on our journey of religious notebooking, and today we covered the topic of the Psalms! I have been creating these notebooking pages as a series to go along with the book Tell Me About The Catholic Faith, but you could certainly use these to teach kids about the Psalms whether or not you are reading that book. You can find the entire 130 page pack of matching notebooking … [Read more...]
I made a pack of Scripture Memorcy cards that has only verses from the book of Psalms. I specifically chose Psalms that Catholics are already familiar with. All of the artwork on the cards is my own. :-) My hope is that memorizing Scripture we're already somewhat familiar with as Catholics will build our confidence and lead to further Scripture memorization, which is something I desperately … [Read more...]

However, there were 2 really big deterrents that stood in my way: Buying hand-painted peg dolls is really expensive. Painting wooden peg dolls myself is extremely time-consuming. But now, I invented a secret option number 3 for you guys... Printable Saint peg … [Read more...]
When we first began our journey through Tell Me About The Catholic Faith, the first 2-page spread was about the Bible in general. I love this! Scripture time in Catholic ABCs begins with a little introduction to the Bible for preschoolers each week, so it felt good to take that to the next level for my older kids. My Thoughts On Pages 10-11: I was really pleased with the way the … [Read more...]
My kids are ages 2, 4, 6, and 8. I currently homeschool everyone, and that includes our Religious Education. (Even when we do attend Religious Ed at our church, which we're not doing this year, I still teach Religion at home.) This year, we have been using Tell Me About The Catholic Faith (which I shorten to TMACF) as the spine for our Religion curriculum, joined with my pack of notebooking … [Read more...]
For Violet's pre-k year, I wanted to include some one on one "cooking" time with me as our Charlotte Mason life skill/ handicraft for her. We're incorporating this into my Catholic ABC's curriculum by making alphabet snacks for the letter of the week! It was important to me that Violet could be very involved in the preparation of each snack. Therefore, the importance here was placed more … [Read more...]
Notebooking is a great way to encourage true thinking and creativity in your children. I use it for a variety of subjects when I homeschool my children, and I've found it to be handy for religion as well. A Little Bit About "Notebooking Pages" for kids I am very influenced by Charlotte Mason in our homeschool. Notebooking pages are one of the tools we use for "narrating" what the kids … [Read more...]
