Here’s what Jackie said-
So we are doing Elizabeth Foss’ Alphabet Path at home with our daughter. Since I can’t paint we purchased the gingerbread cutouts of cardboard people at Michael’s. Each week I trace the outfits from construction paper for her to cut and paste together to correspond with the pictures from An Alphabet of Catholic Saints for each letter. I do the faces typically and some of them I’ve cut too (you can probably guess which). We do this in addition to cutting out the Letters (upper and lowercase) for the week and gluing things that start w/ the letter or the actual letter from magazines to that Letter’s page.
I just love these Adorable Alphabet Saints
from Pinewood Castle! And you can find some good
directions on making these kinds of dolls at Crafty in Coffeeland.
If you want to try your hand at painting, check out these
Painted Alphabet Peg Dolls from robynallen2 on Flickr.
Here are some other ways to make yourself a procession
of saints- whether they’re in alphabetical order or not! 🙂

Also, you should totally check out my All Saints’ Day food labels! This is the perfect All Saints’ Day party printable as it turns everyday kid snacks into symbols of the Saints, making celebrating a breeze for mom!
I LOVE that option I to was doing the alphabet path but can't for hte life of me find peg dolls so this would be PERFECT!!!!! thanks so much for sharing!!!
These are so cute! 🙂
An Alphabet of Catholic Saint crafts would be great to do with a classroom of students. Put a name of a saint on a little pieces of paper and put them into a large container. Have each student reach into the container and pick a slip of paper to find out which saint they will make to hang in the classroom.
I love the Alphabet Path, as do my kids!! Doing a garland of letters & Saints is a great idea, especially for those with limited space (like us). Thanks for all the wonderful ideas (here & overall on the site!).
great and super cute idea!!
Love your cute blog and your saints alphabet! A reader has pointed out to me that there is a problem with my pattern so I am in the process of redoing it! Will post it soon!
Lacy, after reading this post the other day, we made the Saint dolls that Ana created a doll pattern for. what a joy it was to make these! and we posted about them today and linked to your All Saints Day link up!!
