We have a variety of crafts and activities to engage your little ones through the day and, more importantly, to help them learn more about the beautiful faith that is ours! All we offer to our younger guests is free of charge to them and their parents. It is our effort to let Christ's children come to Him with all their creativity, spunk, silliness and joy through art!
Saints Coloring Pages
I bet that if you have young kids, they like to color, right? Even if it's on your walls. Why not encourage them to color images that fill their imaginations with holy, healthy thoughts? We'll supply coloring pages of Saints (courtesy of Shining Light Dolls) and coloring supplies, for your kids' or grandkid's artistic enjoyment.

Recommended Ages: 3 - 8 years old
The Holy Trinity Flexagon Paper Toy
Always looking for something to keep your hands busy? Create a fidget toy that reminds you of the mystery of the Trinity while you fiddle!
Printable Saint Blocks
Combine coloring with learning as you engage with these folding crafts (courtesy of Catholic Icing) which will introduce kids to some great saint friends! Blocks include an image of the saint, a symbol commonly associated with them, as well as some basic introductory information to inspire your young artists.​
Paper Bishop Miter or "Pope Hat"
Celebrate the recent election of our new Pope, Leo XIV, by folding your very own commemorative hat! A great opportunity to bring the reality of this momentous occasion home to St. Louis.
Sacrifice / Good Deed Beads
Have you looked for ways to encourage your children to do good, act virtuously, and care for others - especially when no one but God is watching? That's the motivation behind sacrifice/good deed beads. We'll give your kids the opportunity to create the beaded bracelets at the Kid's Corner. (The good deeds are up to them.)

Recommended Ages: 8 -16 years old
And more!
And more!
For the kids that have their own ideas about what kind of craftiness they want to exercise, we'll also have crayons, markers, stickers, and sidewalk chalk for them to go wild with. And by "go wild" we mean draw whatever you want. But not on people, not even siblings. And no eating the crayons - not this year.
