Catholic Crafts and More for Kids
I've been designing Catholic crafts for kids now for... well 13 years. Wow! I didn't realize exactly how many Mary crafts I have made over that time, but it's a lot! So I decided to make this one easy-to-navigate directory to help ya'll find them all. Definitely share and save this link- it will be updated when I come out with new Marian content for kids. Our Lady of Lourdes Printable pop up … [Read more...]
So... sometimes it happens. Sometimes I make a mistake. In fact, it happens often, and when it happens on Catholic Icing, I believe that it’s God’s way of keeping me humble. 😝 Last week I came out with the Jelly Bean Prayer coloring book, and the “bonus page” had a typo. It said “sorow” instead of “sorrow”. So I’m making that one page free now so that everyone that already downloaded it … [Read more...]
Have you heard of the Jelly Bean Prayer? It's an adorable little poem where each jelly bean color stands for a different part of the Easter story. I love taking the parts of holidays that already exist and throwing a Christ-centered spin on them so that everything from the day points back on the true meaning of the season. It's kind of my favorite thing about Catholic Icing, actually, and who … [Read more...]

To encourage random extra good deeds and sacrifices for kids during Lent, I usually use a crown of thorns or a sacrifice beans. I absolutely love stuff like this! It's hands on, kids love little things they can move, they love seeing progress, and overall I have found these methods to be very effective. However, some parents don't want toothpicks drifting around that could be stepped on or … [Read more...]
What should you give up for Lent, and how do you get your kids to participate? I believe that children of all ages are able to make a sacrifice of some kind for the 40 days of Lent. This is when we remember and reflect on the 40 days that Jesus spent in the desert with nothing. This year to help encourage kids and families to make and keep these resolutions for the length of Lent, I have … [Read more...]
The feast of Our Lady of Lourdes is February 11, and the feast of St. Bernadette is April 16!

Each day in February you just tear off one link and read the scripture about love with your children. That's it! A fun and easy way to … [Read more...]
