Welcome to The Crafty Catechist!


Alright, time to kick off this blog with our first post!
I’ll start with the introductory stuff… My name is Larysa and I’m in the midst of my third year of teaching a kindergarten catechism class at my Catholic church. I'm currently a college student that was raised Catholic and graduated from a Catholic high school (that I loved and still miss sometimes). I started volunteering in the Religious Education program as a project for school, but quickly fell in love with the environment and community!
Teaching kindergarten has been so fun for me, and I’ve enjoyed it more than I could have ever expected. I’m an only child, so getting to be around little kids is something I definitely don’t take for granted. These kids are a ton of fun and always keep me on my toes, but I must say I am truly blessed to be able to work with them every week!
My hope for this blog is to be able to share some of my crafts and ideas with other like-minded Christians. I plan to post ideas ranging from handmade advent wreaths, to “stained glass” crosses made with tissue paper, to Holy Spirit windsocks- not to mention all the various things you can do with glitter glue!- all made with kindergarten students in mind (and tested and approved by them as well!)

I was so blessed to go to a catholic high school where we could celebrate our faith openly. I'm the one in the middle, with two of my beautiful best friends on Ash Wednesday last year. 

So please stay tuned for crafts to come!
