Toddler Mass Kit
I'm blogging over at our
Parish today:
My son just turned one in May. He has been pretty good in Mass, but since he learned to crawl and now walk, my husband and I have had to spend a lot of time with him in the vestibule. Sometimes we wonder if we should even sit down in a pew at the beginning of Mass!
One of the gifts we gave him for his birthday was a bag for Mass. I found the items at various Catholic stores over the last few months. I wanted to make it really special and personalized, so I bought a denim bag at JoAnne Fabrics, and used this method to paint a Marian cross on it. I also embroydered his name on the front of the bag.

Lindsey....this is what we have used for a couple years now with our girls and it is a lifesaver!! We keep adding holy cards to our ring and those are a hit!! We put mass books in there and small church books....my mom the girls bags. The rule is: it has to fit in the bag and HAS to be spiritually / Mass related!! Hope it helps!!
ReplyDeleteWe do have ... See Morethe Busy Bible.....but I dont recommend it so much for mass just becuase it is bigger.....and there are lots of pieces that could get lost easily or fall around the pews....
This is such a great idea ... and useful especially when it is used only for 'entertainment' at Mass.
ReplyDeleteI am wondering - those big beads, made out of wood - noisy when they come in contact with the pew - are there any large rosaries made out of felt (or similar) beads that one could use for this kit? Maybe a new cottage industry...Silent Rosaries!!!
