Catholic Crafts and More for Kids

But we as Catholics can make sure always to keep the "Saint" in "Saint Valentine's Day"! You can find all of my resources for celebrating feast days in February here. There are so many great ways to celebrate this beautiful Catholic feast day, and … [Read more...]
I'm still working on our interdenominational Christian ABC crafts for my homeschool co-op, and it's time for the letter Q. Now, Q is a tricky letter to come up with a craft for, (in Catholic ABC's we make a Queen Mary craft) but my friend Stacy helped me out with an idea that goes with Q, and works well for St. Valentine's feast day as well. Supplies Needed: Q tips Red and pink … [Read more...]
We're still plugging along with our Christian ABC's series, and I needed a Bible craft for the letter "O". I decided to make a craft that goes along with a Christian song! (Pretend I'm singing this to you now, Ok?) "Open the eyes of my heart, Lord, open the eyes of my heart. I want to see you.... I want to see you!" How was my singing voice? ;-) Supplies Needed: Construction paper (red … [Read more...]

For a fun and easy Valentine's day snack, you should try serving your kids some pink, strawberry milk! You can make this treat extra special by taking just a minute to rim your glass with sugar. :-) Rimming the glass with sugar is very easy to do. Take the same strawberry syrup you use to make your milk (we used the same stuff we did for our "Pentecost Sundaes") and pour a little on a … [Read more...]
A few years ago, we made some Valentines with scripture verses on them. Each of them had something to do with love, and also had a “punny” treat that went along with it. This year, I put together some printable valentines with the bible verses to make it easy for everyone to use them! There are no watermarks on the ones you can download. I put them all on one sheet incase you want some variety … [Read more...]

Saint Valentine was a man of God, and given that his feast day revolves around love, it only seems fitting to include some Scripture activities for kids! What a great way to stay focused on the true meaning of this feast day. You can find all of my resources for celebrating the feast day of St. Valentine here, but for now, let's take a look at celebrating St. Valentine with … [Read more...]
When we made our Saint Valentine Puppets the other day, it just seemed that we should have a special snack in preparation for his feast day as well. :-) There are 2 reasons we didn't make heart-shaped cookies. I soooo need to cut back on how much sugar my kids (and I) eat. I don't enjoy baking. So I opted for something easy and a little more nutritious. Doesn't it look … [Read more...]
There's not much that we're certain of about Saint Valentine, but he might have been a bishop and he is often depicted that way. Since making the nun craft from yesterday, I've been obsessed with paper bag puppets! They are so much fun and my kids love them! So... we made St. Valentine! I now have an ebook available with templates for making virtually any Saint- Saint Puppet ebook … [Read more...]
