Here are the starting times for the worldwide hour of Eucharistic Adoration in the … [Read more...]
Find all of my First Communion Resources for Kids here. While we were learning about positive and negative space, I snuck in this host and chalice craft in my older class (kindergarten and up). This would be a great craft for First Communion! Did you pay attention to the negative space? The black should look like 2 faces facing each other. We traced the kid's shadows to achieve this look, … [Read more...]
Check out all of my First Communion Resources for Kids here. Find over 50 examples of First Communion Banners here. Either I was the last Catholic on the planet to hear of first communion banners or some of you also aren't familiar with this popular first communion tradition.

As promised earlier this week, today I am sharing a how-to-draw-grapes-and-wheat-download with all of you! I love the combination when how-to-draws meet handwriting practice, so I decided to make some printable Catholic packs where your kids can learn to draw Catholic things, practice their penmanship, and learn some facts along the way. :-) In this download, you get a page that teaches … [Read more...]
