Catholic Crafts and More for Kids
The feast of Our Lady of Lourdes is February 11, and the feast of St. Bernadette is April 16! Celebrating these feasts with Catholic kids is super fun, and the story of St. Bernadette and Our Lady of Lourdes is certainly a favorite! If you'd like to hear all about this craft and see how it assembles in a video, watch away! (Also, be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel!) … [Read more...]
I love coming up with fun and creative ways to celebrate the church year with kids, and May is full of fun Saint feast days to celebrate! Some of these feast days include St. Joseph the Worker, Our Lady of Fatima, Blessed Imelda, St. Joan of Arc, St. Rita, and St. Simon Stock! The month of May is also dedicated to Our Lady, Mary. You can find all of my month to month post on living liturgically … [Read more...]
Although I have a post with a round up of all my Mary crafts for Catholic kids here, I wanted to have a special page where ya'll could find all of my printable Mary dioramas. I love these printable Mary crafts for several reasons! First of all, they are fun for older kids, and sometimes it's harder to find things for that age group. Also, they stand up on their own making them perfect for home … [Read more...]
Disclosure: This post was sponsored by CCC of America, but all opinions are my own and it's for a product that I have already told you before that I really love! A wonderful thing that you can do during Advent is to spend time celebrating the feast days of Advent Saints. This is a great way to keep your mind focused on Advent as a time of prayerfulness and joyful anticipation. Two of those … [Read more...]
I started my annual All Saints' Day costume share over on facebook- you can share your pictures in the comments to enter, and "like" all of your favorites.

There are no rules so you can "like" as many as you want) I thought … [Read more...]
So I've lived in places with excellent Catholic communities (such as Steubenville Ohio, and Northern Virginia) and I've lived in places with a far lesser Catholic presence (like South Carolina, where we currently live.) Although I still have an amazing virtual Catholic community, I don't really have Catholic friends that live here in town, but I decided not to let that stop me from celebrating All … [Read more...]
As ya'll know, I am a BIG fan of Saint peg dolls. We started with a set from a peg doll exchange for Christmas, and the kids loved them. They still play with them nearly every day. (For those of you who think you can't take on the painting, be sure to check out my decoupagable peg dolls- you can find all of my peg doll resources here.) Most recently, we added some child Saints to our peg … [Read more...]
We have been continuing on our journey of religious notebooking, and today we covered the topic of the Our Father prayer! 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 Our Father prayer whether or not you are reading that book. You can find the entire 130 page pack of … [Read more...]
Since the month of May is dedicated to Mary, it's a great time to honor her with your little ones! There are many Catholic traditions when it comes to honoring Mary, and I just love making sure the kids get included in these. So let's look at honoring Mary in the month of Mary with kids. Plant A Mary Garden (Or Clean Up The One You Have) Having a Mary garden is not only a great way to … [Read more...]
I think it's so cute when siblings (or friends) dress up as Saints who go together in groups or pairs! It's adorable, right? I know I've dressed my kids up as saints who go together, and I've seen my friends do it, so I wanted to make a list to help you brainstorm some ideas. So here it is- a list of Saints who were friends, family, or otherwise "go together". You can find all of my All Saints' … [Read more...]
