If your kids are dressing up for All Saints' Day, an angel can be a great costume! Easy for girls (just pair a white dress with some wings, and voila!) and an easy costume to talk boys into (since St. Michael wears armor and carries a sword.) My little Violet has asked to be an angel 2 years in a row now, and wings, of course, are vital to an angel costume. The wings were super easy to … [Read more...]
I've already done the whole series of Catholic ABC crafts, however, this year at our homeschool co-op, I am teaching an interdenominational preschool class, so I'm having to re-vamp some of the lessons.

My own kids have … [Read more...]

I am such a sucker for cute handprint crafts! We made these angel bags for our All Saints' Day treat bags this year. (Last year we made these cute All Saints' Day treat buckets, but when we moved from Virginia to South Carolina, we only kept about 20% of our belongings, and they didn't make the cut. lol.) In Catholic ABC's, "A is for Angel" and there's a handprint angel craft. … [Read more...]
