Do you know someone who loves Saint Francis?!

Chances are, you do. My 10 year old son dressed up like him last year for the All Saints parade at his school. My brother-in-law wears a Saint Francis medal. Many animal lovers are attracted to the Saint.

So in honor of his feast day today, and those who love the way Saint Francis praised God, here are 5 gifts that honor this holy soul!

5 Catholic Gifts Inspired by Saint Francis

Catholic Saint Francis of Assisi Toys

The Saint Francis Wooden Stacking Toy from Shining Light Dolls

Two children playing with Saint Francis and the birds stacking toy.

My 5 year old twins love this toy and so do my niece (age 3) and nephew (18 months)!

I first bought this for my niece, but then realized it would be a big hit in our home too.

Shining Light Dolls also has a Saint Francis of Assisi plush doll, a classic Shining Lights Doll and a Brother Sun, Sister Moon Quilt!

Saint Francis of Assisi Socks

Saint Francis of Assisi Socks from Sock Religious

I love this subtle way to evangelize! Both by wearing these socks and giving them as a gift, we give a gentle and fun reminder to pray to those we love!

Saint Francis of Assisi Wooden Building Block

Saint Francis of Assisi wooden block from Almond Rod Toys

My 5 year old daughter loves playing with wooden blocks. I love adding in some Saint blocks and watching the play transform into prayer. It’s so beautiful and so simple. You don’t have to buy a whole set of Saint blocks, just buy the wooden blocks and add some Saints in the mix. Watch them build schools and churches and see their imagination and faith come to life!

Saint Francis of Assisi Rosaries

Saint Francis of Assisi Rosaries from Refuge Rosaries

These Rosaries are so beautiful. Let us follow in the footsteps of Saint Francis and live a life of prayer and service to Our Lord.

A Simple Prayer Print

Although it is very unlikely Saint Francis of Assisi wrote the Universal Prayer for Peace, this prayer is attributed to him because his life reflected the virtues it lists.

Cabbage.Patch. Diary. What I had v. what I needed… Cabbage.Patch. Diary. What I had v. what I needed…
When I discovered this in my basement, my daughter grabbed it and ran off… I still have some speed left in me. “Secrets” recovered 😅.

Writing in a diary or a journal is much different than writing and sharing on social media… especially for kids and teens. Dr. Leonard Sax (author of The Collapse of Parenting) shares in his talks how writing in a diary or journal is living… but writing and posting is performing.

The young need the space to write out of the public eye.

Also… remember the Cabbage Patch Kids 😂!?
