Free Printable Catholic Saints Paper Dolls and Coloring Page Activities

Marilisa Kinney Sachteleben
It's been inspiring to see that my most popular articles have been those about Ash Wednesday, Lent, Catholic faith and free printable homeschooling lesson plans activities. Here is yet another free printable Catholic activities website. I enjoy looking for free printable cartoon coloring pages, but my real passion lies in finding homeschooling and religious education free printables. I remember my early teaching days and late homeschooling career, sans computer. I must have made thousands of charts, drawings, graphs, games, etc. Alas, I am woefully inept as an artist, so the lesson plans that required drawing skills...lacked. But now, with the beauty of the Internet, we have access to free printable lesson plans, coloring pages, cut and paste crafts, games and activities.

Paper Dali (click here) is my newest Internet find. This Catholic mom, Vee, is also an artist and has created dozens of free printable Catholic saints paper dolls and coloring pages. I love her play on words for her site 'Paper Dali (dolly)'. All her designs are free to print for personal and homeschool use. Naturally, they should not be used for commercial purposes. Vee has created paper dolls, greeting cards, saints coloring pages, lesson plans, units and many other Bible story and saints crafts. Paper Dali follows the church liturgical calendar. Paper Dali has a partner site with all sorts of homeschooling lessons also. If you are a homeschooler or Catholic family, you will want to bookmark Paper Dali. If you have a Catholic or homeschooling blog, you will want to contact Paper Dali and maybe exchange links.

With Lent upon us, Paper Dali has given up blogging as a Lenten fast, so she may not respond immediately to any communication. But her lovely, spiritual works of art are still available to print and share with your family. For more Catholic and Lent goodies, visit me at www.catholicactivities.blogpsot.com. For more homeschooling helps, visit me at www.diyhomeschool.blogspot.com. For more free printable lesson plans, visit me at www.freeprintablelessonplans.blogspot.com. And for more general lesson plans, culled from my 23 year teaching career and ten year homeschooling career, visit me at www.freelessonplans4u.blogspot.com. Too bad I didn't have Paper Dali earlier. Then my poor children would not have had to suffer with my four-legged chickens.

    Hi there. How sweet of the mention. Thanks so much for it.

    And Paper Dali will still be up and running during Lent. I gave up the sister site ("A Pixilated Life") for Lent, but not Paper Dali, as it is, I think, helpful during Lent. :)

    Thanks for the sweet review! I appreciate it.
