Equipping Catholic Families

another Unique Catholic Teacher Gift!

May 30, 2013 by Monica McConkey Leave a Comment

Continuing with our series on Unique Gifts for Catholic Teachers, Catechists and Grandparents, how about creating a personalized Prayerbook with the help of our All Season Prayer Bank Craft Kit?

A few weeks ago, I shared my own Pinterest Prayer Book, incorporating awesome artwork collected on Pinterest with our favorite family prayers. I used a travel photo album purchased at Walmart and added our favorite holy card images, prayer cards, unique religious artwork and printed prayers from the prayer-packed craft kit.

Catholic Teacher Gifts with Poker Chips

This post launches a new series on Unique Gifts you can print and assemble for your favorite Catholic Teacher, Catechist or Grandparent!

Catholic Teacher Gifts with Poker Chips!

I have made a few different games using poker chips from the dollar store! These are made quite easily with 8.5″x 11″ label paper (also from the dollar store) and a 1.5″ circle punch. The label paper makes it quite easy to adhere images to poker chips. If you choose to have the images printed on regular paper and mod podge them to the poker chips…please either:

Hi Frankie! It’s MAY!

Want to read more of the Catholic Toddler Letters?

Hey Frankie!

I was wondering how you’re doing! We haven’t written in a while, but I thought I’d tell you what I’ve been up to.

I turned three, I’ve got a cool set of Animal Planet animals and my brother’s old workbench, that actually looks pretty new. I’ve got some cool tools (even if I broke the hammer already) and my Dad filled the sandbox with nice new sand. I figured out how to reach chocolate and the pancake mix in the high cupboards and they pumped up my basketball, so it’s got a good bounce.

An Alphabet of Mary: Book Review

May 15, 2013 by Monica McConkey 2 Comments

I have been a fan of Catholic Artworks for a while…after having met Brenda and George (and family!) at a few Catholic conferences. I have been blown away by the extensive, growing collection of awesome artwork that they have created! I have made crafts like the Stations of the Cross Carousel and Stepping Stones through Jesus’ Life, completely enhanced by these nicely drawn, colorful and likeable artwork of Jesus, Mary and the Saints, available as Catholic digital clipart for projects, activities and teaching aids. I know that they have a full range of posters and banners and so many wonderful Catholic materials to delve into Church teaching including vessels, vestments, traditions and the Papacy!
