Following along with the liturgy of the church within the homeschool and as part of creating a domestic church. I am planning our All Saint’s Day activities without the need of dress up and costume design.

Let’s face it, not all of us are creative in the costume design area of life. And truthfully, I don’t always have time for extra projects.

One thing that I learned in this stage of motherhood is, it’s ok to not be able to accomplish everything.

St Philomena

Yes, its a fun memory for the children to have. I have very fond memories of dressing up as a nun or great saints like St. Therese of Lisiuex (my Confirmation patron) when I was growing up.

My mom was pretty awesome with her seamstress talents and I hope that over time I’ll be at that level.

Next year, I plan on adding in the costume portion of our All Saint’s Day activities. But for now, here’s what we do while the children are still fairly young.

All Saint’s Day Activities for Young Children

My children are still very young so we keep things very simple with our traditions. As they get older, I add in more fun celebrations that were a part of my family’s traditions when I was growing up.

Here’s a list of activities that we are doing at our little party.

Draw a Saint’s name out of a basket to use as a patron for the remainder of the year. We also draw one at our Epiphany party.

Decorate and carve pumpkins. Catholic Cuisine has some awesome examples here.

My children love to color! Here’s some beautiful Saints coloring pages from Catholic Playground.

These Saint dolls are too cute! I’m pretty excited to be able to sit down and make these with my kiddos this year.
