Oh, to be a child again! Childhood is such a sweet season of life, and there is nothing more fascinating than watching children play. And what is better than playing while enjoying our beautiful faith? If you know me, you know I am passionate about teaching the Catholic faith to my children, and learning through play is the perfect way to teach the faith! I love when I am in the middle of folding my laundry and look over and my children are playing Mass, giving their baby another baptism, or playing with their plush saint dolls. Nothing is better! Here are some of the toys that my children have been loving lately:
I love that everything from Shining Light Dolls helps my children to grow in our beautiful faith! This adorable wooden Catholic Church “dollhouse” comes with 22 wooden pieces, including Father dressed in ordinary time garments (green), two altar servers, tabernacle altar, altar, credence table, ambo, monstrance, chalice, ciborium, water and wine cruets, lavabo bowl, two altar candles, two flowers, and the paten with celebrant’s host. Everything can be enclosed for easy storage! This is a high-quality set that will last for years.
All my son Zachary needs is a vestment! (Please let me know in the comments if you have any good shops that sell them.) This wooden baptismal set from Shining Light Dolls is adorable! It comes with 8 wooden pieces, two holy oils, baptismal “shell”, and a baptismal candle with removable flame disc and tray. As you can see, the kids love to baptize Bella’s little baby doll. Even Maria loved to participate as a godparent! This mama’s heart could burst with how cute the kids are!
