Calling All Catholic Mamas!

I’m coming off the Easter high…and I don’t mean the candy! I mean, the excitement of the holiday! The joy of the season was so much fun to prepare and celebrate with my young children. But, now, we are winding down from the overload of crafts, books, and activities
IMG_2573related to Easter, and I am searching for the next theme for my little home-schooled preschoolers. I mean, really, you can find just about 50 Easter projects/crafts to every .0001 ordinary time projects/crafts (excepting Christmas, of course!).
So, I’m grudgingly starting a “spring” theme with my daughters, as I feel that’s pretty lame (but, in all reality, my daughters love it!). I just wish, selfishly, that I could come up with a theme that I enjoyed as much as they do. Religious education is a passion of mine, and I’ve recently discovered some gems on the subject:
So, where do I go from here? I’m thinking about making the adorable giant rosary found on Catholicicing. Yay for pool noodles!
Do you have suggestions for me? I’m looking for activities/projects for under 5-year-olds.
Also, has everyone heard about the new St. Mary‘s church being built on Yankee? I’m so excited!

Hey Dayton Moms! I'm a stay-at-home mom of three amazing daughters (ages 3, 2, and 2 months). After earning my Masters in Education at OSU and teaching Kindergarten, substitute teaching, and tutoring ESL students, I quickly realized I needed something more! My own family! I joined eharmony.com and never looked back. My husband lived in Dayton since First Grade, so I have come to know a lot about the area through him and his wonderful family. Since I grew up on a farm, this city life still amazes me. There's so much to do! Don't get me wrong, playing in the creek and woods out back has its own charms, but I'm definitely getting used to the perks of living in Dayton. My faith and family are the most important things to me, yet I am very passionate about education. My focus is early childhood, and I have taken on some self study of the Montessori approach for my children. I have been developing activities for my in-home preschool. Full disclosure: I have a very strong connection with my laminator. My husband knows and respects this -- he doesn't have to like it. Favorite parts about being a mom: Unlimited hugs, daily giggles, and watching my blessings grow.
