Advent & Christmas Ideas for kids

I thought all these would be wonderful Advent traditions or great Christmas gifts!  I hope you enjoy!  For more ideas, check out my YouTube video below!

1) Mary on the Mantel – This is a great alternative to Elf on a Shelf, where you can have the children help Mary get ready for the birth of Jesus on Christmas!  It is a sweet activity that encourages the gift of giving and sharing leading up to the Christmas season. (10% off entire order  with code CATHOLICMOMSLIFE)

2) Our Lady of Guadalupe Outfit- This is for the Be A Heart Mary doll.  I thought I would add this to my order since Our Lady of Guadalupe’s feast day is coming up, and it would be fun for the girls to have Mary dress up for her special feast day. (10% off entire order with the code CATHOLICMOMSLIFE) 

3) 24 Christmas Stories to Welcome Jesus – This book is full of wonderful, encouraging stories that will encourage the faith during the Advent season!  Not only are the stories beautiful, but the pictures are so great too!  (10% off with code HEATHER10 )

4)Rosary Kit – I love this idea for a gift for children!  I love it so much that I bought more to keep on hand for gifting at children’s birthday parties! (10% off with code CATHOLICMOMSLIFE)

5) Catholic Planner || Liturgical Calendar!  This planner is FULL of all things Catholic!  I love it, and as a bonus, it comes with STICKERS!  It is a very unique planner with an awesome layout!  You can plan your week while looking at the whole month! (10% off entire order with code CATHOLICMOM10 )

6) Pajamas for the whole family These ones from Holy Pals (pictured below) are so cute and great quality.  A great time to give them to the kids is St Nicholas feast day!  That way they can wear them all season! *

Hi, I’m Heather, and I’m so happy you’re here.

I’m a Catholic wife, mama to five beautiful children, homemaker, home chef, and the heart behind A Catholic Mom’s Life. In this little corner of the internet, I love sharing the beauty of Catholic motherhood, faith-filled family traditions, cozy homemaking inspiration, heartfelt prayers, and all the little things that help make a house feel more like a holy home.

My greatest joy is my vocation as a wife and mother, and through my YouTube videos, blog posts, and favorite finds, my hope is to encourage women to fall deeply in love with Christ and discover the peace, joy, and beauty that can be found in living the Catholic faith every day.

So grab a cup of coffee, stay awhile, and make yourself at home — I am so glad our paths crossed.
