We like to keep a Catholic home altar and update it year-round with the liturgical year. You can find all of my ideas about how to honor Mary with kids in May here, and today we are going to talk about how to make a May altar for Mary.
If you think you don’t have a Mary statue, go raid your nativity set. Or check out my printable Mary statue craft for kids. It’s free to print!
- Mary Statue
- Blue Stuff
- Flowers
- Mary holy cards
- Mary books
- Rosaries
- Candles
- Mary crafts your kids have made
- Drawings or artwork of Our Lady
- Crosses
Your imagination is the only limitation!
