6 Printable All Saints Day Crafts (Step by Step)

These are the five crafts and the coloring pages from our All Saints Creativity Kit. Each works for one saint or a whole stack, so you can make one for each child’s name saint or create a full “litany” for your prayer table.

1. Pop-Up Saints (best for ages 3+)
Standing paper saints that display on a table, shelf, or home altar—and double as paper dolls for pretend play.

1. Print on cardstock and let your child color the saint (or use the color version).

2. Cut along the outer lines; younger children can cut straight edges while you handle the curves.

3. Fold along the base so the saint stands up.

4. Set your saints on the prayer table on All Saints Day and pray a short litany together, naming each one.

2. Saint Prayer Pockets (best for ages 4+)
A little pocket shaped like a saint, with prayer tokens children tuck inside for their intentions. It makes prayer something kids can see and hold.

1. Print, color, and cut out the pocket and the prayer tokens.

2. Fold and glue the pocket using the included instructions.

3. Have your child choose a token for someone or something they want to pray for and tuck it inside.

4. Ask that saint to pray for your intention each night of the week.

3. Little Saint Books (best for ages 4–8)
Pocket-sized mini books with a color cover and a tracing page showing each saint’s feast day, patronage, and home. Kids love building their own “library” of heavenly friends.

1. Print, cut, fold, and staple.

2. Have your child trace the words and color the pictures.

3. Read it together, then let your child “read” it back to you or to a younger sibling.

4. Saint Candle Covers (best for ages 3+ with grown-up help)
Printable wraps that turn candles you already own into feast day candles. They remind us that the saints reflect the light of Christ.

1. Print and color the cover, then cut it out.

2. Wrap it around a jar candle or glass holder and secure it with tape or glue.

3. For little ones, use a battery tea light inside a glass jar for safety.

4. Light it during dinner or family prayer on All Saints Day.

5. Saint Bookmarks (best for ages 5+)
Each bookmark shows a saint’s image, feast day, origin, and patronage—perfect for early readers.

1. Print on cardstock, color, and cut.

2. Fold and glue following the instructions; laminate or punch a hole and add yarn if you’d like.

3. Use them in read-alouds, give them as party favors, or tuck one into a Mass bag.

6. Saint Coloring Pages (all ages)
The easiest All Saints Day activity of all. Coloring is perfect for toddlers, for quiet time, or for keeping hands busy during a family read-aloud or Rosary.

• Tell the saint’s story in a few sentences while your child colors.

• Hang finished pages on a string across the window as an “All Saints banner.”

• Make a family “Book of Saints” by stapling colored pages together.

4 DIY Saint Crafts with Things You Already Have

No printer? No problem. These simple saint crafts use supplies most homes already have.

1. Paper Plate Halos
Supplies: paper plate, yellow paint or crayons, scissors, tape.
Cut out the center of a paper plate, color the ring gold, and wear it as a halo. Talk about how a halo in art shows that a person is full of God’s light.

2. Clothespin or Peg Doll Saints
Supplies: wooden clothespins or peg dolls, markers or paint, fabric scraps, glue.
Draw a face, then glue on a bit of fabric for a habit, cloak, or crown: brown for St. Francis, blue and white for Our Lady, green for St. Patrick. Add them to a nativity-style saint scene on your shelf.

3. Litany of the Saints Paper Chain
Supplies: paper strips, markers, tape or stapler.
Write one saint’s name on each strip (family name saints, parish patron, favorites), link them into a chain, and hang it in your doorway. Pray the chain as a litany: read each name and answer “Pray for us!”

4. Painted Saint Rocks or Clay Medals
Supplies: smooth rocks or air-dry clay, paint, a toothpick for details.
Paint a saint’s symbol on each rock—a rose for St. Thérèse, a shamrock for St. Patrick, a candle for St. Lucy—or press a simple cross into a circle of clay to make a “medal.” Keep them in a basket for a saint matching game.

Pair every craft with a story. Crafts stick best when kids know who they’re making. Our 70 one-page Saint Stories (included in the Catholic Faith Formation Starter Kit) give you a warm, age-appropriate read-aloud with each saint’s feast day, patronage, and home—read one while your kids craft.

Want Games Too?

Quiet activities like I-Spy Saints and a saints word search are lovely for the afternoon of November 1, and saint bingo or a board game turns the day into a party. You’ll find a full party plan—games, snacks, and a costume parade—in our guide to celebrating All Saints Day with kids, and everything printable in the All Saints Day Celebration Kit.

Tips for Classrooms, CCD, and Co-ops

• Prep ahead: Pre-cut pieces for children under five so craft time stays joyful, not frustrating.

• Assign saints: Give each child a different saint so the finished pop-up saints become a group display of the Communion of Saints.

• Build in prayer: End the session with a litany using every saint the class made.

• Send it home: Little Saint Books and bookmarks are easy take-homes that start conversations with parents.

• Licensing: Teaching a classroom, parish, co-op, or group? Each product page has group licenses—just choose the license that matches your number of students.

Saint Craft FAQ

What are easy All Saints Day crafts for preschoolers?
Coloring pages, pop-up saints, and little saint books are the easiest for ages 3–5. They involve coloring, simple cutting, and folding, and they finish quickly enough to hold a preschooler’s attention.

What can toddlers do for All Saints Day?
Toddlers can color a saint, wear a paper plate halo, and practice answering “Pray for us!” in a short litany. Do the cutting yourself and let them do the coloring and gluing.

What paper should I print saint crafts on?
Use cardstock for anything that needs to stand or last (pop-up saints, bookmarks, candle covers) and regular printer paper for coloring pages and mini books.

How do saint crafts help kids learn the faith?
Hands-on crafts give children something to see, hold, and return to. A pop-up saint on the prayer table or a prayer pocket by the bed keeps that saint’s story—and the habit of asking for their prayers—part of everyday life.

Can I use these crafts after All Saints Day?
Yes! Each saint has their own feast day, so you can pull out that saint’s craft again on their day. Our monthly feast day guides, like November Feast Days, make it easy to plan ahead.
