All Saints’ Day is coming! Celebrating Hallowtide (Halloween, All Saints’ Day, and All Souls’ Day) as a Catholic family is such a good way to live liturgically in your household.
I just wrote an article titled “Can Catholics Celebrate Halloween?” I encourage you to check out if you’re feeling unsure about the holiday. Another thing has made me feel so much more confident in the Faith? My daily planner from TheSaintmaker. As a convert, I often feel like I don’t know anything about our faith! It’s so complex! The Saintmaker has really helped me with feast day activities and examining my conscious each day. It even has a Confession journal in the back!

How do you celebrate All Saints’ Day with your kids? Do you throw an All Saints’ Day party? Or keep it more low-key?
Our children are finally getting old enough where I want to pull out all the stops. Bring on the saint costumes, All Saints’ Day crafts, party food and printables! If you’re searching for easy All Saints’ Day costume ideas for kids, Amazon has plenty of options like this Mary costume.
Or this Archangel costume!
What is All Saints’ Day?
All Saints’ Day (or All Hallows’ Day) is a major feast day on the Catholic Church’s calendar.
We celebrate All Saints’ Day on November 1, the day after Halloween or All Hallows’ Eve.
On this day we honor not only the saints we know by name in Heaven, but also any saints whose names we don’t know! This is the time of year when the living honor all the dead: the saints already in Heaven and all the holy souls stuck in purgatory on their way to Heaven.
There are so many saints in Heaven who don’t have an official feast day, but are still special nontheless! All Saints’ Day is a day dedicated to them.
All Saints’ Day Printable
You know I like to keep things simple. Bringing Catholic traditions into your home shouldn’t stress you out!
Here’s an All Saints Day printable worksheet for your little ones. They can count and color each saint related item!
I love having worksheets like this in my back pocket because they are a good “extra” activity my children can do after dinner or whenever they’re bored.
Here is a Saint Coloring Book you might be interested as well! It’s a best seller on the CatholicCompany.com
It’s also a great way to introduce All Saints’ Day if you’re wanting to teach your children about it but they’re still a little young. I know I’m not alone when I say I feel like most things go right over their heads.
Younger children love looking at and coloring simple pictures, and their little minds can soak in more information while engaged in “left brain” activities like coloring. While they complete this worksheet, you can explain the basic concepts of this feast day to them!
Celebrating All Saint’s Day
Whether you go all out for All Saints’ Day with big parties and lavish costumes, or just print out a couple copies of the worksheet above, know every single effort counts! God loves you and appreciates you so much for passing the faith onto your children. They are learning more than you think!
