5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, December 3, 2004

This review is from: The Big Book of Catholic Customs and Traditions for Children's Faith Formation (Paperback)

This is a nice book. The format is appealing and well organized, and it is helpfully divided into months. It is full of crafts and activities, information on holidays, saint days, and the liturgical seasons, information on different customs--some old and some new, and more. I was particularly pleased that the crafts were simple, but nice. I also found it refreshing to find a lot of prayers that are new to us. For example, in the December section there are a lot of suggested prayers for each week of Advent, etc. It is hard to do this book justice in a short review. I am looking forward to using this book for years to come.

This review is from: The Big Book of Catholic Customs and Traditions for Children's Faith Formation (Paperback)

I LOVE this book! It follows the liturgical year and month-by-month (often day-by-day) offers suggestions for things to do with kids. It includes the theme for the month (like "Month of the Holy Rosary"), major saints of the day (including an interesting story about the saint), discussion starters, activities and crafts for children, explanations of holidays, etc.

This book contains a wealth of information and plenty of "white space" for adding your own notes and ideas in the margins. I've been looking for something like this and God finally lead me to it!! It's provides a great curriculum for sharing the faith with our kids!

This was a great book and it gave me a great "plan" to follow in educating my children about the catholic faith and it also provided great ideas on family projects that we could do to celebrate and understand the deeper meaning of many catholic customs and traditions.
