We have organized this guide to help you supplement your Catholic Curriculum with fun Catholic crafts! We like to find activities and crafts that kids like to do anyway…and sneak in Catholic Catechism!

The Adam-friendly Crying Room

Should we Cement-In all Crying Rooms?
There have been times when I have banished myself to the crying room. Particularly with a tiny infant when my breast-feeding attempts were pretty awkward…and about as discrete as Adam eating chocolate cake. I was just grateful to catch a few words while attracting as little attention as possible.

I had a ‘lightbulb’ during prayer-time the other day.

The Ultimate Superhero Party Printable
July 17, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Although we try to primarily offer Catholic activities and crafts here at Equipping Catholic Families, we also like to share other creative projects that have become part of our family culture. Just like our Minute To Win It Birthday Party Post (also with FREE printable), we tend to have very cool birthday parties at home. Although the birthday party programs seem to relax a bit as the kids get older, we have some great memories … and we will likely repeat a couple of the favorite themed parties for Bridget and Adam.
Wooden Painted Saint: Proper Tutorial
July 14, 2013 by 15 Comments
Our Wooden Painted Saints attracted a lot of attention at the IHM conference in Virginia! We had quite a few people asking to place orders for their own set!
These little wooden peg people are really fun to make so I thought that I would post a proper step-by-step tutorial. I have been particularly impressed with the tutorial picture style of this website and have tried to make my own version!
