Mary Art Project for Kids

My preschooler crafted Mary, Queen of Heaven, as a handprint project- and I'm very happy with the results! :-)  This would be a perfect craft for a May crowning, or just a fun art project for Catholic kids anytime! 

Completed Project

Start by having your child stamp his or her foot, hand, and fingers.

(There are 12 "star" fingerprints around Mary)

I would suggest letting this dry before moving on.
  1. *tip* When stamping your hand, you might not want to paint all the way up the fingers. I didn't.
  2. Paint Mary's blue veil around her face.
  3. Trace around the outside of Mary's crown with gold glitter glue, and add dotted jewels with red glitter glue.
  4. Paint on Mary's face.

I then let my daughter decorate the stars with glitter glue. Older kids can draw asterisk shapes on top of the fingerprints with the glitter glue.


Here are some of my 4 year old's completed Mary trading cards. She is so proud of these- I'm not sure what she's going to think of mailing them away!


 The Feast of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary is coming up on May 31. Happy Catholic Crafting!

  5. What a great idea! I am having a hard time getting my kids to complete 5 trading cards each. Wish I had thought of something as cute and easy to duplicate! Love them!

  6. Lacy, those are all so beautiful! The trading cards are so precious - I do hope she makes an extra for her Mommy! :-) And Alicia, duplicates are fine, especially for the younger participants as they will be going to five different other kids.
