Happy Birthday Mother Mary!
 
 
There are a lot of ways to celebrate Mother Mary’s birth; the most obvious is probably a birthday cake! In A Treasure Chest of Traditions for Catholic Families we recommend an All-White Dinner reminding us that Mary was born without sin! I collected a bunch of pins on Pinterest, searching Birth of Mary, birthday cakes and white food… Â 
At Equipping Catholic Families, we have created a number of dolls and figures for Mother Mary. Check out: Egg Carton Saints: Mother Mary TY Doll to Saint Makeovers 
 and our Wooden Painted Saint: Mother Mary! Check out our Wooden Painted Saint Tutorial 
An Alphabet of Mary is a sweet book with little poems, explanations and illustrations of the titles and qualities of Mother Mary.  
The Spiritual Bouquet of Prayer Petal Flowers is an excellent craft to help teach the Rosary. One colorful paper flower is made as the prayers of one decade are recited (or read from the flower pieces! Templates for a giant wall garland are also included, along with a flower template for the prayers of the Divine Mercy.
The Revolving Rosary is a spinning Mystery and prayer counter to help keep track of the prayers of the Rosary as they are said. Great for families who have trouble remembering where they left off, saying one decade a day. Â Â
