Amazing! My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed exploring her faith through this journal.”

Another recent reviewer says this:

My 10yo LOVES the be yourself journal! She says it’s like talking to a good friend who asks questions to know her better ❤ I love how it helps her grow in her identity as Gods beautiful daughter and a great thing to do when she’s looking for something to do!

It’s like “make Mad Libs Catholic, add a couple Would You Rather games and guide boys to discover God in a way that is relevant and helpful” . . . it’s that kind of book!

I’m delighted to say that boys actually like this book! Phil , owner of Voyage Comics, says this:

“This journal fills a much-needed gap in devotional books for young boys. The prompts and creative artwork make it an interactive experience and allows boys the freedom to express their true selves . . .”

I am super excited to purchase this Catholic Cookbook for Kids for both my son and my nephew!

My son is 12 and my nephew is 8.

This cookbook for kids ages 6+ helps parents make the Church’s feast days, holy days, and liturgical seasons a more integral part of their family life.

Featuring 33 delicious recipes, each dish corresponds to a specific time in the liturgical year and is paired with stories of saints, sacred art, scripture, and prayers. From festive celebrations during Christmas and Easter to meaningful meals for ordinary time and feast days of various saints, this cookbook invites families to grow closer to their faith with every meal.

The Catholic Kids' Cookbook published by Word on Fire

I love how hands on this gift is -it’s not just a book, it’s an experience (actually, it holds the potential for many experiences!!!)

Buy it here: The Catholic Kids’ Cookbook: Holy Days and Heavenly Food

Any other moms sick of seeing Dog Man books? How about Diary of a Wimpy Kid?

My soon to be 8 year old daughter loves to read. She loved the Boxcar Children, she is loving Little House in the Big Woods BUT she is also quite into the above books that I mentioned.

I’m very excited to give her some of the series Sisters of the Last Straw!

Sisters of the Last Straw book 9 the Case of the Mixed-up Marathon by Karen Kelly Boyce

Our dear neighbor gave my son one of these books a few years ago and he loved them! There is one that is even Easter themed: Sisters of the Last Straw the case of the Easter Egg Escapades

Catholic Kids Magazine

Rooted is a a monthly magazine just for Catholic kids!

Rooted is filled with wholesome, fun, engaging, Catholic content, and can be used in classrooms, parishes, or with your family!

Rooted is meant to help reinforce Christ’s infinite goodness and love in our children’s lives. The creator of Rooted, Jessica Benfield, believes this:

“We need to keep our kids Rooted. In Faith. In Christ.”

Rooted In Faith In Christ Catholic kids magazine cover included illustration of flowers and a basket of bread.

The shop is called: PRAY HOPE DRAW SAINTS

I’m starting to get excited about what I’m putting in my children’s Easter baskets, and I really want to share my awesome find with you!

Some of these gifts are great to give Godchildren, nieces and nephews that you gather with on Easter Sunday too!

I love so many gifts that I divided them into 3 categories:

  1. Catholic Books (includes coloring books, journals, fiction, non-fiction, picture books, etc.)
  2. Toys – The Holy Spirit is truly inspiring creative Catholics, these gifts are so fun! Some are priced low, others are more of an investment. All of them deserve 5 STARS!
  3. Candy – I mean, it is an Easter Basket.

I am leaving out apparel and jewelry for this one. So, this is geared more for children. If you are looking for gifts under age 3, make sure you check out Catholic Easter Basket Ideas for Babies and Toddlers.

Catholic Books are perfect for Easter Baskets

My 4 year old daughter will be getting a Shining Lights Coloring Book and God the Father and the Best Day Ever by Gracie Jagla!

We already have Lily Lolek, Future Saint – but if you don’t, this is a great Easter Basket Book!

My 4-year-old son is getting The Beggar and the Bluebird

We love are Listening for God and this book is so great for pre-schoolers – if you don’t have it, it’s a great Easter gift book!

9 year old son: ACTION BIBLE

(He’s been using Be Yourself: A Journal for Catholic Boys this Lent – another great Easter basket stuffer for boys 9 to 13!)

This has been a sweet bonding experience for my son and I. If you are trying to get up early to pray, inviting your son to join you with this book is really a beautiful way to grow in holiness together!

I love the coloring book HAPPY EASTER COLORING PAGES! We have gotten this before and would order over and over again! You can even order the downloadable/print yourself version on Etsy!

For readers in grades 2 – 5 . . .we love the Sisters of the Last Straw books!

Be Yourself: A Journal for Catholic Girls is a great Easter Basket gift for young ladies ages 9 through 14. In fact, one mother wrote a review on Amazon that states:

“I got this for my 10 yr old daughter’s Easter basket. She immediately was attracted to it. Later, she came to me and said that it was her favorite item in her basket. . . .”

Catholic Toys that are Modern and Relevant

All 3 of my children are getting Slap Bracelets from No Heart Untouched!





These Catholic Slap bracelets are such a fun way to show the faith! I have a feeling my 3 children will be slapping them on all day. I’ll have to make a rule that they can only slap them on themselves – but I am sure they will all enjoy them!!! I ordered an extra one for my Goddaughter too!

Saintly Heart has a brand new Easter playset!

My daughter loves temporary tattoos, and Saintly Heart also has a special Easter tattoo pack!

Shining Light Dolls have these adorable “stuffies” that not only make for great play but decorate a bedroom with grace and style. My 4 year old twins play with “stuffies” all the time. I’m happy to add our faith to the mix!

My 4 year-old son is getting the new Catholic Church Alpha-Wet Water Reveal Cards.

These paint with water cards and books have always been popular in our house – with both sons! I’m excited to give this new product this year.

I’m ordering the mini Mary and Joseph doll – possibly several!

The original Shining Light Dolls are great for toddlers and babies because they are safe and unique.

We’ve been slowly building to our wooden block collection with these beautiful blocks from Almond Rod Toys.

When we pray a family Rosary, we let our 4 year olds color or play with blocks. With each holiday we’ve added a few more religious blocks and I love seeing that Almond Rod Toys makes blocks with each Mystery of the Rosary illustrated and described. Getting just one decade is an option – or even Stations of the Cross blocks!

Chocolate Candy Made With Prayer

Instead of getting a big chocolate bunny from a local store, order these BIG Chocolate Bunny Pops made with love and prayer from the Trappistine Quality Candy nuns!

The Nuns of Mount Saint Mary’s Abbey run this candy making industry so they can support themselves and share with the poor. This work also supports the communal life, giving the Sisters the opportunity to work together for the common good. Through both prayer and effort, community members regardless of age can actively participate in this ‘labor of love’.

And I might add, the chocolate does taste heavenly!

Catholic Baby Easter Baskets

If you are looking for ideas for babies and toddlers, I just wrote this post over at Catholics Online!

Catholic Easter Baskets for Babies and Toddlers

So many cute options!!!
