Hey all! We are gearing up for the feast of All Saints in our household lately – how about you? Here is a rundown of how we are simply celebrating this time of year. I’ll be back with more pictures of the actual celebrations in November, but I thought you may like to see what we are planning on this year. Make sure you read all the way to the bottom and enter the AWESOME giveaway!
2016 All Saints’ Day Celebrations
All Saints’ Day Costumes
We are blessed to be part of an amazing group of families that gets together for Little Flowers and Blue Knights. We also take some time to celebrate the liturgical calendar throughout the year. I think our co-op’s All Saints’ Day Party is a favorite for everyone involved. Here are the saints I’m taking with me to the party this year. (Spoiler Alert to all my friends reading this!)
Felix and the Spider
This costume duo was the idea of Jim. He adores little Butch and is happy to have him at his side this All Saints’. Our copy of Once Upon a Time Saints says St. Felix disguised himself as a beggar to escape the Roman officials, hence the beggar garb. You can read more about St. Felix here.
St. Felix Costume How-to: Brown hooded sweater (from Salvation Army) and rope belt.
Spider Costume How-to: The body was made from a red sweatshirt with “legs” from an old shirt sewn on. The head was a pair of red shorts I turned into a hat and hot glued white and black felt circles on to make eyes. I cut the web from white felt loosely following this tutorial.
St. Patrick
Apollo stuck to St. Patrick when deciding who he wanted to dress as for All Saints’. Lots of green makes this a fairly obvious costume!
St. Patrick Costume How-to: The bishop’s crosier or staff (I had to look up the official name) is the handle of a broom. His mitre was sewn from felt. The vestments were made from an old green tank top of mine that I cut down the sides and hot glued a white cross onto. Nothing fancy folks!
St. Lucia
If you’ve been a reader for awhile, you may notice that this is the same saint that Sally dressed as last All Saints’. I tried to convince her to try something new, but she insisted. I guess it meant less work for me!
St. Lucia Costume How-to: Sally is wearing a white undershirt of Husband’s along with a ribbon sash. Her crown is the same one I made last year from felt following the steps of the tutorial I made here: St. Lucia Crown DIY Tutorial.
All Saints’ Day Party
Now that we’ve got our costumes, we have to have someplace to go! Our co-op has been celebrating All Saints’ Day with a party the last 3 years, and it is always a real hit! We keep it super simple.
All Saint Party Games
Each family is asked to bring one All Saints’ Day Game. I also store games from previous parties, so the number of games to play goes up every year.
Saint Dorothy’s Bob-for-Apples
Last year, I wanted to work in Bobbing-for-Apples, so I incorporated St. Dorothy into this classic fall party game. St. Dorothy is known for sending fruit in the dead of winter as a sign that she was in heaven. It was a hit! This is one All Saints’ Game I haven’t seen yet on the web, so here is a printable sign for your All Saints’ Party if you want to play St. Dorothy’s Bob-for-Apples. The kid’s will love it so bring A LOT of apples.
Other games:
St. Francis Animal Toss:
Tape off a “free throw” line and let kids toss stuffed animals into a bucket. (You can see a fancy version of this at Catholic Playground here.)
Pin the Shamrock on St. Patrick:
Print off a picture of St. Patrick and hang it on the wall. Stick tape to the back of a paper shamrock. Let the kids take turns blindfolding themselves and attempting to “pin” the shamrock into St. Patrick’s hand.
Musical Saints: Tape pictures or names of saints on chairs and place the chairs in a circle. Have some music going and when the music stops kids are to find a seat. Whoever doesn’t find a seat is out. Keep pulling out a chair every round until there is only one left.
Saint to Symbol Match Game: Print the names of saints on index cards (one per card) and then draw or print for the computer a symbol associated with that saint. Let the kids take turns trying to pair the saint to their symbol. (e.g. St. Therese and roses, St. Peter and the Keys, St. Mark and the Lion, St. John and the eagle, etc.)
Coloring Table: Print off coloring pages of the saints and let kids take a break and color for awhile.
All Saints Party Treat Bags
Each family also brings a treat to distribute to each child. This is nothing fancy and can be whatever you happen to have in the house. Here are a few ideas.
All Saints’ Treat Bag Ideas:
- Cookies, crackers, etc.
- Candy
- Stickers
- Pencils, erasers
- Holy Cards (print some for free!)
While the kids play games, the moms pack a goody bag for each child to take home.
Doughnuts
We got into the tradition of making doughnuts or “soul cakes” several years ago. I pull out all the stops and make them from scratch. I use this recipe for Crispy and Creamy Doughnuts from All Recipes and it has always turned out well. It makes a bunch so we often share with friends, neighbors, or shut-ins. If you aren’t into making your own doughnuts, I won’t hold it against you for getting yours out of a box, BUT you are really missing out!
Maybe this year I’ll actually get a pictures taken of our doughnies before they are all gone!
If you want to know more about why we make doughnuts for All Saints’ Day check out my post on 16 Ways to Celebrate All Saints’ Day.
Holy Pumpkins
Our little ones love carving pumpkins. We always carve two sides, one for Halloween and another side for All Saints’. Our Halloween carving is usually a goofy grin and the reverse side is a simple icthus or cross. Sometimes we are really lazy and just paint them! Come November 2nd, our pumpkins are made into some delicious pumpkin pie!
If you are more talented than we are (which doesn’t say much about your artistic talent!), check out the Saint-O-Lanterns at Catholic Cuisine for some inspiration.
Moving into November
All Saints’ and All Souls’ Days are great ways to transition into the liturgical month of November which is dedicated to the Holy Souls in Purgatory. I’m planning on gathering the November materials for the feast table (candles, pictures of our beloved deceased, etc.) and letting the kids help me make our feast table into a prayer table.
You’ll be seeing the November Feast Table post soon where you’ll find a booklist, activities, and other ideas for the month of November.

And now…the giveaway!
Leane of Catholic Child and Prayer Pillowcases contacted me after reading my October Feast Table post. She saw that not only was A Boy Who Became Pope: The Story of John Paul II on my Book Basket Wishlist for the month, but also that I was wanting to teach my little ones the Guardian Angel Prayer. She sent me a box filled with goodies for my family and some to share with one of you lucky readers!
My thoughts on A Boy Who Became Pope..
I was a little skeptical of this book when I first saw it. The illustrations are more cartoony than I like, but the children were immediately drawn to it and begged me to read it. As I read, I fell in love with not only the story, but the person of Saint John Paul II. I struggled to read the last few pages as I saw the culminating work of God’s hand in JPII’s life. God is so good! -and it brought a catch in my throat and a tear to my eye.
I grew up scoffing at this holy man (Lord, don’t smite me for that!), but over time I’ve been slowly introduced to his humility, bravery, wisdom, and love. This children’s book showed me the obstacles that were overcome by JPII even as a young boy. So often, I think saint stories are sugar-coated, leaving us feeling like we can never attain their holy perfection. A Boy Who Became Pope is blunt about the losses and struggles JPII faced, but also hopeful in how God worked through his suffering.
This is the type of story I want my children to read. This is a story that will inspire them toward holiness!
(The book is available on Catholic Child.)
Prayer Pillowcases..
I was also sent me a couple Prayer Pillowcases to try when she saw I was wanting to teach my 5 and 3 year old the Guardian Angel Prayer. The Prayer Pillowcases couldn’t have come at a better time considering I had totally blown off my resolution and done nothing to teach them this essential Catholic prayer!
There were so many pillowcases and colors, I had a hard time choosing. I chose the pink Guardian Angel Prayer Pillowcase for my girly-girl Sally and the St. Michael Pillowcase for Apollo (after all, what 5 year old boy isn’t crazy about St. Michael?). The kids were delighted to receive them and could barely wait for them to come out of the wash!
I have a feeling these Prayer Pillowcases are going to come in handy during those 2 a.m. nightmare episodes that rear their ugly head around our home on occasion. Husband and I often hand the frightened child a holy card or rosary to hold as they drift back to sleep. Now they will find comfort laying their head down on their angel prayers!
And working on memorizing that prayer?- it is a lot harder to forget my resolution now that it stares me in the face every night at 8 pm! The kids are picking it up both the St. Michael and the Guardian Angel prayers pretty quickly.
Christmas may be a long way off, but these seem to be the perfect gift for the Catholic kid who has it all! We all need a pillowcase, so why not make it Catholic? Did I mention they can be personalized?
Like I said, I also have some goodies for one of you lucky readers. I’m throwing in some of my own goodies to up-the-ante. Here is what you will get if you win this awesome giveaway!

My boys LOVE the book ‘Teach Me About the Catholic Faith”, plus all those little mini books on the stories of the Saint. I’ve also never seen those prayer pillow cases before – how neat!
I’m not familiar with that book, so I’ll have to check it out soon! Always on the lookout for another great Catholic read for kids. I had never seen the cute pillowcases before either!
I LOVE The Weight of a Mass and Take It To the Queen…both books are analogy-type storytelling that speak beautiful truths about Mass and the Blessed Virgin Mary. 🙂 Gorgeous illustrations, too.
YES! Two of my favorite literature picks for a young Catholic family. They embody the living literature movement with a Catholic flavor!
My son is preparing for his first Reconciliation. I love the Act of Contrition and Guardian Angel prayer pillowcases. I have was taught as a young girl that these are very important good night prayers and I am trying to share that with my boys now as well. Thank you for your great work. You are a true inspiration. May God bless you and your family and your ministry always. Peace be with you.
I do think that learning an Act of Contrition is so important. It is something we should say every day!
My favorite Catholic Kids book is Going to Confession by Fr. Lovasik. Its short enough to keep a second grader attention and teaches them a lot. I used with my older kids and my ccd classes.
I have to admit that I’m not a huge fan of Fr. Lovasik’s books, but I do enjoy some of them. I’ll have to see if I can borrow this one from our parish library!
It is hard to choose a favorite pillow case! I think I should have these pillow cases on all of our guest bedroom pillows, along with every other pillow we regularly use 🙂 I would first choose the Hail Mary because we are working hard with our children on our devotion to Jesus through Mary.
That would be clever to have them on every bed! I wonder what my protestant family would think of sleeping on a Hail Mary Pillow?????
The pillowcases are all so lovely, but I think my favorite is the Hail Mary Prayers. Such a beautiful part of our faith, and the first prayers for anyone to learn and memorize 🙂 I think they would not only be wonderful for children, but for adults too. Thanks for hosting an awesome giveaway!
Isn’t it a great idea! Best of luck!
We have been enjoying “A Catholic Child’s Illustrated Lives of the Saints.” As a former Protestant in the process of becoming Catholic, it has been very interesting for me to learn about the Saints right along with my children. We will have to grow our library of Catholic children’s books…I have a few in mind for Christmas gifts!
Our library has been growing slow here too, but I am amazed at what we have amassed since I joined the Church 5 years ago. Great X-mas and Saint Nicholas Day gifts!
Angel in the Waters is one of our favorite Catholic books. 🙂
A great pro-life choice. My children love to read it when we are expecting a new sibling!
I love the Guardian Angel prayer pillowcase!! I used to love the Guardian Angel prayer card I had, and carried it everywhere when I was a kid.
I love your blog, I shared some of your posts with my mom, and now she’s trying to figure out where in her house she can put a feast table.
That is so sweet! The feast table is definitely not my original idea, but it has been a real blessing to our family!
I love the Our Lady of Grace:
Memorare pillowcase.
They are all beautiful aren’t they?
My favorite Catholic children’s book is The Weight of the Mass. It’s just beautiful!
Yes, I LOVE this book. The year I taught my son’s 1st Communion religious ed class, I gave it to them.
You know as a child, I don’t recall many catholic children’s book but that only of the bible stories my father would tell me. But now as a homeschooling mother, I have a book case of great catholic children’s book that I love to share with my children. My favorite pillow is the St.Michael with that powerful prayer! Thanks for the giveaway. Please if you have time check out our Year of Mercy giveaway. http://catholicfitmomforlife.com/mercy-on-me/ God bless.
Just entered your great giveaway too, Cecilia. Yes, Catholic literature has come a long way – what a blessing!
It’s hard to pick a favorite Catholic children’s book, but I did really love Clare’s Costly Cookie. I read it to all my children as a read-aloud a while ago, and I thought it was a great example of specifically how to turn to the Lord in prayer for all our daily struggles.
I also really like the prayer pillowcases. I’ve admired them many times before, and I’m not sure I could pick a favorite of those either!
Your blog is great – I’ve been inspired many times reading your posts!
Thanks, sweet Amanda. I’m glad you entered 🙂 I’ll be rooting for you! We have Clare’s Costly Cookie. However, I think I might need to read it again soon – might help with some of those tempers that have seemed to be flaring around these parts lately!
Oh I LOVE this! At my kids school they have an All Saints day mass/Parade for the Kindergarten class it is SOOOO cute! My youngest son was Fr.Boso and my oldest little girl was St.Clare so when I saw your pictures OH I loved it! OK hmm as far as the pillows I’d get it one for my youngest son who NOW is actually 13 and next Monday will be having his confirmation and he chose Mary as his confirmation name and so I’d choose Immaculate Heart of Mary:
Hail Mary for him and for my baby girl (she’s 3) The Sacred & Immaculate Hearts But I’ll have to buy myself 2 more pillows since I know my other daughter and oldest son will ask where are theirs lol..
Yes, those pillows are really cute and serve quite a few ages. I’ll say a prayer for your son’s Confirmation. What a special day!
We absolutely love Amy Welborn’s Book of Saints and Book of Heroes! And Olivia and the Little Way is excellent! Thank you for the chance to win!
We have not read ANY of those book, though Oliva and the Little Way has been on my list for awhile. I’ll have to see if they can be on our Xmas list!
Our oldest child is preparing for his First Confession, so The Sacred Heart: Act of Contrition pillowcase would be perfect.
That would be perfect. An Act of Contrition memorized will serve your child their whole life long!
Hi Elizabeth! I just wanted to say Thank You for your lovely post & photos highlighting Catholic Child and Prayer Pillowcases. The winner is in store for quite a treat 🙂
Yes, they are! Thanks so much for the great products. I think I may be placing an order for some Christmas gifts for cousins!
What a great giveaway! Our current favorite book right now is the “Good Night Bible”, although it’s not officially Catholic, my kids really love it. This is a good reminder I really need to work on expanding our Catholic book collection! Thanks for the recommendations.
That’s the good thing about a kid’s Bible – it doesn’t have to be Catholic. We are forever working on expanding our Catholic library!
A few great books are Tomie de Paula’s Pascual and the Kitchen Angel and The Clown of God. And though not specifically Catholic, we love The Princess and the Kiss and The Squire and the Scroll.
All of those are favorites at our house as well!
I love the St. Michael pillowcase! What a great giveaway! Thanks.
My 5 year old is crazy about it! It has been fun to say the prayer together every night!
My favorite book is The weight of Mass, the first time I read it I teared up.
That IS a great book. I love when I too am touched by the books I read my children.
I realized I commented on FB and not here… my favorite is the traditional guardian angel prayer pillowcase
I love that image and so it is one of my favorites too, though it is hard to choose!
St. Dominic by Mary Fabyan Windeatt. That story inspired all of my kids, including my then-6-yr-old boy who dressed as St. Dominic for All Saints Day last year. The book has been requested multiple times as a read-aloud.
I’m going to have to pick that one up! That’s for the suggestion!
We love the Treasure Box series. I love that some of the stories continue from book to book so we can easily read a little bit every night.
YES! These were the first Catholic books I added to our library and they have gotten a lot of mileage! So many great stories!
My favorite is definitely the Angel of God prayer pillowcase. It is beautiful!
I love the image, don’t you?
We would love the St. Michael pillowcase – my 4yo is obsessed with St. Michael!
Sounds like a good Catholic boy!
Such an awesome giveaway! Thank you for the chance! We have a guardian angel pillowcase fornour oldest and would love a st. Michael the archangel one as well as a Marian one for our daughter. Also, this books has been circling the web’s and I just added it to my wish list! Love it all! Also, our community celebrates all saints in a pretty fun way too! So excited for this year!
Have a great All Saints!
This is my first time visiting your blog and I love this giveaway! The pillows are so sweet but the Guardian Angel prayer is one I say for my two girls every night before going to bed. I would have to get that one.
It would be perfect!
So many great Catholic books these days. My kids especially seem to like saint stories, either from our “Saints: Lives and Illuminations” book, or any Tomie dePaola. (Actually lately they are even more into Glory Stories than books!) We love Prayer Pillowcases too. Our Michael has St. Michael and his brother has the Divine Mercy because he was born on Divine Mercy Sunday. The Guardian Angel pillowcase will probably find its way into someone’s stocking this Christmas too. 🙂
It would be a perfect Christmas gift!
thank you for the chance to win. I love the St. Michael pillowcase. My two little boys are really into St. Michael right now.
Those are some good Catholic boys you have!
My favorite Catholic children’s book is 7 Riddles to Nowhere by AJ Cattapan.
I’ve never even heard of this book. I’m going to have to look into it!
Angel in the Waters is a family favorite here
That’s a favorite here too!
Thanks for the giveaway chance! I like the St. Michael pillowcase. My 5 year old boy has a special fondness for St. Michael (because St. Michael FIGHTS the devil and is pictured with a cool sword) and he would love having St. Michael on his bed! Favorite Catholic books include: Amy Steedman’s book of Bible Stories and a few books published by Our Sunday Visitor- Just Like Mary, Little Acts of Grace, and The Mass Book for Children. The author is Rosemarie Gortler and these are awesome little books for homeschooling! The illustrator is a homeschooling mother and the pictures are a delight.
Yes, I do like the Rosemarie Gortler books. They are good for teaching the faith to little ones.
Favorite children’s book – The weight if a Mass. I love the Memorare pillowcase!
We love that book too! Perfect for 1st Communion prep!
I like the Memorare pillowcase, and I know my 5yr old son would love St Michael!
Yes, those little boys love their St. Michael!
My kids have the St. Michael pillowcases and we love them!
He is the perfect patron for nighttime!
I’m just starting to collect Catholic children’s books for our home library, so I’m going to take notes on all the great suggestions in the comments! These pillowcases are lovely…I want them all! I would probably choose the Guardian Angel prayer pillowcase first since we always say it together before bed. Thanks so much for the amazing giveaway!
We too are always slowly adding to our collection of Catholic books. It is definitely a process!
Count me in! My 3 year old really connects with the Catholic Treasure Box books that shares from the beginning life of St. Therese as a child (and there is one book that speaks of Our Blessed Mother as a child leading to becoming the Mother of Our Lord). I would really like either of the pillow cases that display one of the saints mentioned above and to gift it to our 3 year old. It would connect the dots even more for her. Thanks for the consideration. God bless! <3
Best of luck!
Saint Michael’s prayer is my son’s favorite prayer! He’s 7 years old and is preparing for First Communion. He would love to have the pillowcase to learn the prayer completely. Thank you for sharing the love of God through your blog.
Thanks Carmen! Best of luck! St. Michael would make a great Christmas gift!
Cute costumes! Our favorite book is probably The Weight of a Mass. My favorite prayer pillowcase is the Saint Patrick one my oldest son has. His middle name is Patrick and the pillowcase is personalized with his name. I love the first communion pillowcases as well and they make great gifts!
They are a great idea for 1st Communion gifts!
Love the Angel of God and Hail Mary ones but they are all great!!
I think my kids would love these!!
Mine do, and I’m sure yours would too!
Our favorite Catholic children’s books are the Tobet Theology of the Body board books for kids. It’s a 3-book series: Everybody has a Body, Every Body Is a Gift, and Everybody is Smart.
WHOA! Have not heard of these and will DEFINITELY be looking into them!
The guardian angel one would be my choice! We recently learned that prayer here too.
It is an essential Catholic prayer, no?
The St. Michael pillowcase is my favorite!
I love it too!
We love King of the Golden City.
Yes, I LOVE this book, not only for my children, but myself!
My favorite pillowcase is the St. Michael the Archangel one. I think it would help my super hero obsessed son stay in bed when he is scared. St.Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle!
I think knowing the angels are on our side is super comforting to little ones! They are real super heroes!
I love the St Michael pillowcase! I always pray that prayer with my kids when they have nightmares. I bet they’d love to have that on their pillow!
We haven’t had any scary dreams since my little ones got their pillowcases. Coincidence? I don’t know!
One of our favorite books is Catholic Saints for Girls (and Boys). Even though I only have daughters, we bought the Boys book as well since we love the simple stories and pictures. https://www.amazon.com/Saints-Girls-First-Little-Catholic/dp/1939094194/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1477333221&sr=8-1&keywords=catholic+saints+for+girls
I have not read these yet, but will have to see if I can’t add them to my bookshelf someday!
I would love the Saint Michael pillowcase!
I love it too!
I’ve never seen the pillowcases, really like both but would choose St. Michael first!
Hi, I am new to your blog. This giveaway looks fantastic. My favorite children’s books are the Catholic Treasure Box books. They are so sweet and cute with great illustrations. I also love the St. Michael pillowcase. Thanks for the chance to win!
I LOVE those books too and I think they are the perfect first addition to any Catholic home library!
The Puppy That No One Wanted by Anthony DeStefano is one of my favorites.
Haven’t read it and I’ll have to look into it!
This may sound a bit odd, but there’s an Oscar Wilde story, The Happy Prince, that has a beautiful moral message. (He was a deathbed convert, after all, and wrestled with morality all his life.)
I’ll have to look into it. What age group do think it is appropriate for?
We love Shining lights Virgin Mary Around the World to read to our kids.
We were gifted this book a while back. It is a great book for little Catholics!
My boys would love the St. Michael pillowcase!
Boys and St. Michael! This seems to be a trend!
We like the book “st. Felix and tge spider” over here. My oldest is really into bugs 😉
I was thinking about getting this for our clan, especially because of who they chose to dress as for All Saints this year!
St. Michael the Archangel pillowcase would make my little boy’s day!
Yes, I love him too!
I love the St Michael the Archangel pillowcase, that is my favorite prayer!
I was gifted with “My First Pictures of Mary” and “My First Pictures of Jesus” by Maite Roche and we love to read it to our newborn! It’s simple and colorful!
I would definitely choose the JPII pillowcase.
You get the gold star for starting them young, Emily!
I really like the artwork on the Guardian Angel Prayer pillowcase. It’s one of our family’s favorite prayers at bedtime too.
Yes, I just love the image of that angel guarding the children.
I just discovered this blog while doing a search on “November”. I’m so glad it appeared! What a nice idea to have a “giveaway”!
I’m familiar with many of the book suggestions listed, and hope to purchase “Clare’s Costly Cookie” for my niece Clare this Christmas. I never heard of it before.
One book that I enjoy reading to my nieces and nephews is “The Tale of Three Trees” by Angela Elwell Hunt. I hope others enjoy it too if you’re just checking it out for the first time. 🙂
I have read and love that book! It is a wonderful Christian book! Thanks so much for stopping by, Marion, and good luck!
St. Michael pillowcase is my favorite!
So do my boys!
I like the JPII pillowcase.
I’ve definitely learned to appreciate this modern day saint!
Hi, I like the Saint Cecilia pillowcase. She was my Confirmation saint and it is the middle name of my daughter. We have Holy Cards taped to her bed. But a PILLOWCASE! How awesome!! I love this idea. Beats Elsa and Anna any day! I’m trying to focus on the saint with her and this is a perfect way to do that. What a perfect visual reminder to be used daily!
These Saint pillow cases are the cutest thing ever-I love this idea!
My favorite is St. Michael the Arch Angel. I would give it to my son Travis Michael named after St. Michael, because he fought so hard to live after he was born 6 years ago.
Sounds just like the perfect saint for him! Sweet…
I don’t know if I can pick a favorite Catholic picture book, but right now, I’ve rediscovered the charm of the St Joseph’s picture books. They’re so wonderful! I have a bunch, but recently found the Picture Missal at a thrift store, and fell in love. It’s a perfect, easy to follow kid’s missal.
Also, I love love love those prayer pillowcases. I’ve wanted them for a while!
Yes, I love them too!
Best of luck with the giveaway!
I just discovered your blog, and I love it! I’ve been looking for ideas for incorporating the liturgical year into our family prayer, and you have so many great ideas! Thanks for sharing! One of my favorite Catholic kids books is the Weight of a Mass. My favorite pillowcase is the Saint Joseph pillowcase.
Thanks so much, Julianne. Best of luck on the giveaway!
