Catholic Crafts and More for Kids
I usually post stuff on this site for your kids, but today, this post is for YOU. God is calling you to have a personal relationship and prayer life with him. I started realizing that if I'm not cultivating my personal relationship with Jesus, what am I doing the rest of this stuff for? This is what it's all about! As I started feeling a strong calling to strengthen my prayer life, a friend of … [Read more...]
I created a printable book that is a special Christmas treasury for Catholic kids, and the pages are illustrated by your child and his or her handprints. :-) (For those of you familiar with my products, it's the Advent/Christmas counterpart to Holy Week In Handprints.) Each handprint picture is designed to be loads of fun, and easy to replicate! Even the youngest of children can … [Read more...]
Whoever puts up their Christmas tree last wins the "Best Catholic" award! Wait, was it a competition? No one told me! Before I stared Catholic Icing, I had no idea there were people that waited until Christmas Eve to put up their tree. The more I run in Catholic circles, I find that a lot of families take waiting during the entire Advent season very seriously. This is not something I grew … [Read more...]
Last year I made a bunch of table runners with the Catholic dinner prayer on them and I gave them out as Christmas presents. I used a faux batik technique, and they were beautiful, and I love them, but they were a lot of work. I got a lot of suggestions from my readers to try doing the same thing with a bleach pen, and I wanted to make a harvest colored one for Thanksgiving, so I gave it a whirl. … [Read more...]
This tablecloth that we draw on is a family tradition my mom started last year, and it's been a huge hit! At holidays, my mom brings out her white tablecloth, along with a baggie of sharpie markers, and everyone adds a little bit to the tablecloth, along with their name and the year. It's really fun to add to, and also fun to see the pictures from holidays past! Updated To Answer … [Read more...]
Ya’ll crack me up so much! I posted my colorful cross wall the other day, and I got more comments wanting to know how I painted my refrigerator than comments about the crosses! 😂 So... here’s how my diy painted fridge! I got this fridge for free from a friend, and it was that off-white almond color. Honestly, it doesn't look too bad in these pictures, but I hated it in real life. … [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...]

We have been continuing on our journey of religious notebooking, and today we covered the topic of the Psalms! 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 Psalms whether or not you are reading that book. You can find the entire 130 page pack of matching notebooking … [Read more...]
Advent planning never goes smoothly for me unless I start before Thanksgiving, and people, it's right around the corner! For anyone who downloaded my Advent Christmas Planner last year, it's time to pull that baby off the shelf! Just yesterday, I received such a sweet email from a reader that purchased the Advent Christmas Planner last year. I wanted to share her thoughts on the ebook with … [Read more...]
