Creating Catholic resources for kids has been my passion for years, but I've always created them in English, as that is my primary language. I get requests to translate them to all different languages, but the one I get repeatedly is to translate my Catholic Resources for Kids into Spanish.
Last winter, we were in Florida on vacation. While looking up Mass times, we found church after church with Spanish Masses. This is not common at all where I'm from, which is part of why I didn't initially think to translate my resources. But as I realized there were many Spanish Catholic communities out there even beyond where we were in Florida, I got four different requests that week in my inbox for resources to be translated to Spanish. I took it as a sign that I needed to find a native Spanish speaker who was Catholic and was willing to start translating my Catholic resources.
We've been working on translating some of my most requested and best-selling Catholic resources to Spanish!!! Check out what we have available.
Spanish Confession Lapbook
The Confession Lapbook was designed to prepare students for their First Reconciliation, but can be used anytime they go to confession. It includes a mini flip book for preparing for confession including a scripture passage, the Ten Commandments and a kid friendly examination of conscience. Then students can choose the picture that most represents how the sacrament looks at their church (in a confessional, out of a confessional, behind a screen, face to face, etc.) This is a visual reminder of the steps of the sacrament.
There is also a mini book to help with what to say during the confession - a rough guide of what you say and what the priest says, the Act of Contrition (with several options) and even a little pocket to hold a notecard or piece of paper if students want to write down their sins, so they don't forget what to say in the moment.
All of this is in Spanish and the step-by-step directions for assembling this are also in Spanish.

Spanish Catholic Lent Lapbook
This Spanish Lent Lapbook is designed to help children countdown to Easter in a meaningful way. The lapbook includes a mini flip book for Ash Wednesday and their Lenten Promise (prayer, almsgiving and fasting) as well as a pocket with mini cards for the Stations of the Cross. These could be referred to throughout the whole Lenten season. There are also four mini books that have students read scripture and respond on the topics of Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter. There are also two levels available for the scripture portion so that younger students are filling in the blanks and older students are reflecting and writing.
All of this is in Spanish and the step-by-step directions for assembling this are also in Spanish.

Spanish Catholic Prayers Lapbook Bundle
I had several dual language teachers reach out to let me know they needed the same resources in both Spanish and English. Because of this, I created a little bundle that includes the English and Spanish versions of the Catholic Prayers Lapbook. By buying them together in a bundle, you save money over buying each one individually.

Spanish Catholic Rosary Lapbook
The Catholic Rosary Lapbook helps students learn to pray the Rosary. There is a simplified version that just includes the prayers of the Rosary. The complete version includes the prayers as well as the mysteries of the Rosary plus a step-by-step guide for how to pray it. Both versions include a diagram of a rosary that students will color code to match the prayers to help them know what prayer you say on each bead.

At this time, these are the only resources I have translated into Spanish. As we add more, they will be added to this page. I don't know that I will ever translate all of my resources. For right now, just the most requested products will be translated to Spanish. That way, we can get hands-on Catholic resources into the hands of Spanish speaking kids.
