Welcome to our monthly summary of crafts and family traditions related to the Monthly Devotion, Key Feast Days and the appropriate Season of the Liturgical Calendar.
The Monthly Devotion for May is the Blessed Virgin Mary
Here’s a quick picture summary of some of our favorite Mary and Rosary crafts!
Our oversized wood bead Rosary is always a hit at the conferences we attend. This is a pretty simple craft made with wooden beads, a wooden cross and a wooden heart, acrylic paint and mod podge…and it’s one of the favorites in our book A Treasure Chest of Traditions for Catholic Families!
Our Mini Rosary Abacus was just added recently…and it’s a nice way to help busy people keep track of their daily Rosary prayers, hands-free!
The Kelly SaintsTM Mysteries of the Rosary Craft Kit was released last year and it’s a comprehensive kit with fully illustrated templates for Revolving Rosaries, Lace-Up Booklets and Cake Toppers for each of the four sets of Mysteries of the Rosary. Lots of templates…in color and black and white….and lots of ways to use them! New ways to get kids excited about saying the Rosary!

Our Easy as Abacus Rosary Craft Kit was new last fall! It’s an easy craft with fun Kelly SaintsTM clipart for all 20 Mysteries of the Rosary. We recommend a square wood canvas and a string of pony beads to help little fingers keep track of the prayers of each decade!
