Celebrating Catholic Family and Faith with crafts, Catechesis and traditions!
I have been looking for ways to encourage sustained celebration for the full 50 days of Easter! You may have seen my 50 DIY Kinder Surprise Eggs.
Although I have made a couple Jesus crafts like our Wooden Painted Saint series and our TY Doll Makeovers, I decided that I needed an Egg Carton Jesus to round out my growing collection of Egg Carton Saints!
The Crown of Thorns dough wreath with toothpicks is a countdown craft for Lent. It’s also a Lenten activity in my book A Treasure Chest of Traditions for Catholic Families.
The toothpicks are inserted as a way to count sacrifice and count down to Easter.
As part of the launch of the Inspired Dinners Giveaway, I have created a NEW Printable to enjoy meaningful family time!
Conversation Pieces is a packed craft kit of full color templates, illustrated with Kelly Comics and offering inviting prompts for meaningful and fun table talk!
If you read our Review of Saint Mail last month, you’ll know that we are enjoying a monthly subscription to Saint Mail and it’s helping us delve in deeper into the Liturgical Calendar. Each package comes with a special letter from the Saint, along with a holy medal, a craft, a coloring page, a holy card, a list of dinner talk starters and other activity ideas…along with a couple special little toys representing our newly discovered facts about the saint!
Even though the Gospel Readings lately at Mass have already launched into Jesus’ Baptism as an adult and the beginning of His Public Ministry, this Sunday is the Feast of the Presentation of our Lord (or the Purification of Mary). This Feast celebrates the event (40 days after Jesus’ Birth), when He was presented in the Temple, following the Jewish custom.
This is my new Monthly Link-up of crafts, activities, festivities and family traditions honoring the Saints of each month!
Our Catholic Calendar is so rich with Saints Feast Days and Devotions.
Do you have a special celebration, craft, activity or reflection to share?

We have all heard the Nativity story, seen reenactments of Jesus’ Birth in school plays, Church pageants and even on the big screen. Santa Claus is pretty prevalent too, and we’re looking for ways to overpower the looming inflatable Santa Claus and Frosty that have adorned the house next door since mid-November.
I’m excited about this product because I really like Illuminated Ink’s coloring pages and the idea of an organization folder for the Liturgical Calendar.
Illuminated Ink’s Sacred Seasons Liturgical Calendar comes with blank calendar templates for each season along with Illuminated Ink‘s classic (but new, improved and expanded!) saint symbol stickers, informative Season explanations and awesome coloring pages.
Catholic Family Fun by Sarah Reinhard is a playful book, jammed-packed with everyday activities and adventures for families, using easy to find materials that you probably have on hand….or requiring nothing but a burst of energy to run around outside.
