Catholic Crafts and More for Kids
Art Lessons For Kids By Artist This is a directory where I keep links to all of my Art lessons sorted by artist. Through the Charlotte Mason method, we study 3 artists and 3 composers per year. I have the composers we studied paired with the artists we did at the same time because sometimes we had overlap, but you can pair them however you choose. I also have them listed here in the order … [Read more...]
We have been continuing on our journey of religious notebooking, and today we covered the topic of the last supper and the crucifixion! 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 Holy Thursday and the passion of Christ whether or not you are reading that book. You can … [Read more...]
Ok, as promised when I debuted the Printable Passion set for peg dolls, here is the Resurrection set counterpart! (And I now have a post about painting these little guys in 3 different styles- check it out here.) Nativity sets are so popular at Christmas time (and for good reason), so I can't figure out why the whole Resurrection Set thing at Easter hasn't totally caught on yet. I think … [Read more...]
I suppose I should have seen this coming! The Passion set of printable peg dolls have pretty much permanently moved into block Jerusalem here. Having the peg dolls walking around Jerusalem serves a similar purpose to the printable Jerusalem art cards. The kids are matching the events they know to places that they also know now. Again, this model of Jerusalem is based off of the … [Read more...]
Well, you have all been asking for a second set of decoupagable peg dolls since I came out with the first set, and here it is! This set has the characters you need to act out the Passion of Jesus, including everyone you need for the 14 Stations of the Cross. For anyone unfamiliar with my printable peg dolls, the concept is easy. All you have to do is paint the head, and then you print and … [Read more...]
As Holy Week approaches, I wanted to teach my kids more about Jerusalem and Jesus' last week. Ya'll know I'm a sucker for hands-on learning with my kids, so we decided to build a model of Jerusalem to "see" what the city was like, and if you have a set of blocks, you can build one, too! Before diving in, I would like to share my new cookbook for families– The Symbolic Holy … [Read more...]
My kids are ages 2, 4, 6, and 8. I currently homeschool everyone, and that includes our Religious Education. (Even when we do attend Religious Ed at our church, which we're not doing this year, I still teach Religion at home.) This year, we have been using Tell Me About The Catholic Faith (which I shorten to TMACF) as the spine for our Religion curriculum, joined with my pack of notebooking … [Read more...]
Before I lose anyone- trust me... you can bake unleavened bread! It doesn't involve any yeast or rising or anything! Seriously, you can't mess it up. Take that from someone who is far from being a gourmet chef. ;-) You can find all of my holy week food ideas for kids here. Today, we are going to bake this easy unleavened bread recipe with no yeast needed! Baking unleavened bread with your … [Read more...]
I went on a quest to find the best picture books for kids that convey the true meaning of Easter for kids, and I want to share my findings with all of you! Even though these are reviews of these Easter picture books, no one payed me to write this and I purchased all the books with my own money, so this is not a skewed review- just me making some book suggestions to my friends. :-) I have … [Read more...]
I'm starting a new series called "Lacy's Picks" where I can feature kid products that are absolute favorites in our home. These are not paid reviews, but products that are my personal favorites that I recommend to my friends. Because that's how I like to think of ya'll - as friends. :-) You can read more about Lacy's Picks here. Today I'm featuring a book I purchased for the kids for … [Read more...]
