Help little ones learn and celebrate the beautiful name of Mary with this hands-on Catholic printable activity created especially for toddlers and preschoolers.
Children will recognize, match, and put together the letters M-A-R-Y while learning why Mary's name is so special to Catholics. Through simple play, little ones practice early literacy skills while being introduced to Mary as the Mother of Jesus and our loving mother in heaven.
The Feast of the Most Holy Name of Mary, celebrated on September 12, gives families an opportunity to honor Mary's name and remember her loving "yes" to God. Just as children learn to recognize the names of the people they love, this activity helps make Mary's name familiar to little hearts.
Toddler Faith Connection
Mary is Jesus' mother, and she loves Jesus very much. Her name is special because it reminds us of her love for God and her faithful "yes" to Him. When we say Mary's name, we can remember that she always helps lead us closer to Jesus.
