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.

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.

I love this book. It is very helpful in teaching my child about the Faith, Traditions, and Sacraments of the Catholic Church. The book also is divided into great sections based on the Saints, Sacraments, Feast Days and Holy Days. They also break the book down into months of the year to develope awareness of the events and signifigance of each month. The reading materials and activities are great!

My children enjoy this book and it is helping us to understand the traditions. The children like the activities and art projects as well. This would actually be a good book for the Catholic churches to use in their elementary programs.

I bought this book because I like it when our family has some sort of Catholic faith item to discuss at dinner. We were using 365 days of Saints and talking about the saint for that day, but this book is so well organized that I can look up new facts and traditions to bring to our life. I have two older children and two babies, so this book is great for all. I'm just a mom, so probably won't do the little book projects etc, but glad to have them for a reference. I like the organization by season and liturgical year and that there is something for every month.

I had been looking for a resource to add to our homeschool curriculum that would follow the liturgical year. We have enjoyed many of the simple enriching activities while learning more about saints/important people and our faith.

I am planning on using htis book for both home and at PSR (Parish School of Religion) It has great easy ideas to bring more of our religion into our lives.

This book is very elementary. It would be good for pre-K to early first. It is easy to follow and has some good activities, but many of them are for classroom use. It's okay, and I will use it, but I think I would have done better to google particular feast days and find activities that were more appropriate and make my own binder.

This is a really great book of projects - I've already used it quite a few times! When I purchased it, I seem to have skipped over the whole "For Children's Faith Formation," and it's definitely geared toward the "Little Church" or Sunday School environment, but most of the projects can be done at home as well. Highly recommended!
