# Children's Activities for Mary's Month from OSV

May 12, 2009 9:42:00 PM  |  by [Lisa M. Hendey](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/lisa-m-hendey)

[![](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/marigold.jpg?width=260&height=264&name=marigold.jpg "marigold")](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/marigold.jpg)The [Early Childhood Education Center over at Our Sunday Visitor](http://www.osv.com/ParishNav/ParishResources/EarlyChildhoodEducation/May2009/tabid/7737/Default.aspx) is always an excellent resource for great activities for your home or classroom.  This month, their focus is on our Blessed Mother Mary.  They are offering a wonderful, free downloadable coloring booklet featuring the "Flowers of Mary" - flowers named on behalf of Our Lady.

This reminds me that it's time to get out in the back yard and refresh my Mary Garden a bit.  I hope to share photos of it with you as soon as I retake it from the wilds!

Also this month, OSV has a wonderful printable activity guide featuring several great craft and activity ideas to introduce Mary to little learners.  [Check out both resources here](http://www.osv.com/ParishNav/ParishResources/EarlyChildhoodEducation/May2009/tabid/7737/Default.aspx).

In addition to the great Early Childhood Recommendations, the [Teaching Catholic Kids](http://www.osv.com/OSV4MeNav/TeachingCatholicKids/tabid/220/Default.aspx) section is also filled with great ideas and suggestions for older children:

***Activity One:** (Grades K-5): [Make May Day Baskets»](http://www.osv.com/LinkClick.aspx?link=7741&tabid=220)*

***Activity Two** (Grade 6 and up):  From OSV Newsweekly May 3 issue: [A proposal: Computer games can be beneficial for children»](http://www.osv.com/tabid/7621/itemid/4755/A-proposal-Computer-games-can-be-beneficial-for-c.aspx)*

***Activity:** Invite the young people to look at the "Computer Game Lessons" section near the end of the article. Have them create their own list. [Send them to us](mailto:ddziena@osv.com?subject=Computer%20games) and we'll post them on the [Daily Take blog](http://www.osvdailytake.com/). Email Dave: [ddziena@osv.com](mailto:ddziena@osv.com).*

***Teacher Pattern**: [Mary Asks Jesus’ Help at the Wedding Feast (PDF)»](http://www.osv.com/Portals/0/images/pdf/TP0509.pdf)*

***Soul Food for Teachers:** [From May 2009 Grace In Action, "Make Time for moments of beauty"»](http://www.osv.com/LinkClick.aspx?link=7740&tabid=220)*

***Catechist Know-How**: [From Mary Lou Rosien»](http://www.osv.com/LinkClick.aspx?link=7742&tabid=220)*
