Catholic Crafts and More for Kids
St. Clare's feast day is coming up on August 11. She had such a devotion to the blessed sacrament that her symbol is the monstrance, so I've included monstrance crafts and snacks as well. Of course, a monstrance craft would also be great for Corpus Christi, or a generic Catholic craft for any time! :-) I love this little St. Clare doll made by Joyfilled Family! No advanced skills necessary, and … [Read more...]
By the end of the year, I will be and Aunt 3 more times! Yay! I wanted to make some Catholic baby gifts for the Mommies-to-Be, so I made these Catholic Novelty shirts: You can get plain white onesies in packs of 5 at Wal-Mart. I actually found these 2 at the Salvation Army. What you'll Need: Onesies Pencil Fabric Paint (assorted colors) Once you … [Read more...]

I now have a full at-home VBS program … [Read more...]
Find all of my peg doll resources here! St. John Vianney's feast day is coming up on August 4, and he is the patron saint of priests.

(Or use them as a gift for a Catholic child). Use them to teach about liturgical colors, or about holy … [Read more...]

Well, I used some of the ideas I posted here earlier and made a prayer book with my 4-year-old daughter! We learned a lot about prayer while we colored and put the book together. Ours were shaped like hands to help remind us to keep our hands folded while we pray. (My daughter has a lot of trouble with this at her preschool coop, so we're working on it). All of the printables came from The … [Read more...]
I found this craft over at Under Her Starry Mantle. I really love Anne's blog! For this craft, she has a prayer for the Most Precious Blood of Jesus that is in the shape of a drop. July is the month dedicated to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus, and you still have plenty of time to pray! :-) For details on this Most Precious Blood of Jesus Craft and more pictures, check out Under Her Starry … [Read more...]
Check out all of my First Communion Resources for Kids here. July is the month of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus. Celebrating with the kids can be as easy as mixing up some red jello! You can get plastic wine glasses at the Dollar Tree. These were made for my little brother's first communion, so they also had marshmallow slice "hosts". Just pour in the jello into the wine … [Read more...]
The feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel's feast day is on July 16! This is a very cool feast day to celebrate with your family because well, not only are all the Mary days fun (yay!) but they seem extra special when they appear to a Saint, and in this case she appeared to St. Simon Stock. She also gave him the scapular, and that is a big deal in the Catholic faith! If you're looking for more fun ways … [Read more...]
The scapular is made from brown wool rectangles, and it's worn around the neck. It was given to St. Simon by Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Our Lady Of Mt. Carmel's feast day is July 6, and you can find all my posts about living liturgically in July here. It's a sacramental with history dating back to the Old Testament, and Our Lady makes promises to those who wear it, including "Whoever dies wearing … [Read more...]
