Catholic Crafts and More for Kids
I have fond memories of crafting God's Eyes as a child. I guess some Christian crafts just don't go out of style :-) They symbolize the all seeing eye of God. This craft is great for kids of a wide age span, and the materials are easy to come by! I was thinking that making some red white and blue God's Eyes (or Ojo de Dios) would be a fun activity for the 4th of July, followed by a prayer … [Read more...]
Do you remember the Marian Trading Card swap over at Pondered in my Heart? I wrote about the cards we sent off. Well, we got our new cards in the mail this week! It was so exciting- and I'm sure I was more excited than the 4 year old! :-) Kimberlee has a Mr. Linky up where everyone can link their posts about the card swap. FUN! My daughter had such a great time making these! My daughter … [Read more...]
Don't you call your priest "Father"? He can't have biological children of his own, so I think this is a nice time to show him some appreciation! :-) I came up with this craft for packaging your Father's Day gift to your priest. It's a sort of a counterpart to all the "necktie" stuff you see for regular Father's Day gifts. What you need to make your "Priest Necktie" White and Black felt or … [Read more...]
I am so intrigued by the idea of decorating your home for the liturgical year, and I just LOVE this idea from Tiffany to make a Sacred Heart of Jesus wreath! Remember that the month of June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart, so you still have plenty of time to make your wreath. Also, I feel like the red roses give it a patriotic look that will go with your 4th of July decor :-) Head over to Family … [Read more...]

Here is a classic prayer to St. Anthony- "Dear Saint Anthony, please come round- Something is lost and must be found!" :-) I am just tickled at some of these adorable ideas for celebrating St. Anthony's feast day with kids! So in honor of St. Anthony- patron of lost … [Read more...]
What is better in the summertime than tie dye? To make it extra fun, these are styled after the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Immaculate Heart Of Mary, and the Divine Mercy! We made a Sacred Heart shirt for my son, and Immaculate Heart shirts for me and the girls. Then my daughter insisted that "Daddy needs one", so I made a "Divine Mercy" shirt for him. (I didn't think my husband wanted to wear a shirt … [Read more...]
I have something special planned for today- I'd like to invite you to join me in celebrating my daughter's baptism! It's actually a triple baptism, so that's triple the fun ;-) So come on in, and enjoy the party- you're invited! These beautiful invitations were made especially for Violet's baptism by Alicia from Through My "I"s. I love how she made them purple to go with her name! You can … [Read more...]

I was really shocked to find soooo much cute Catholic stuff for celebrating the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts! Crafts, cakes, printables- even T-shirt making! Check it out: Check out these Sacred and Immaculate Heart Cakes I … [Read more...]

This craft comes from Cottage Blessings. Try this craft using Religious Metals. This was also found on Cottage Blessings. Craft a Monstrance with God's … [Read more...]
Honoring Mary is a beautiful devotion and a long tradition in the Catholic faith. She was the mother of Jesus, ever a virgin, and always said "yes" to our Lord! You can find all of my ideas on honoring Mary with kids here. Today I would like to share with you a bunch of Mary printables for kids, and more than half of them are totally free to download and print! I … [Read more...]
