Organized by chapter themes, Hands-On Faith is a perfect book to supplement any religious education program with children, offering cutout materials for lessons involving prayer, liturgy, the Bible, Catholic legends and lore, holy days and church seasons, as well as a host of other new and old appropriate themes. Each of the activities is self-contained with more than one suggestion for adapting and extending it for individual and classroom use.
These projects require a minimum of supplies. Many are designed for easy reproduction whereby a little tape, glue, or staples helps to create things like a toolbox to hold the utensils once used by Joseph the Carpenter, a Noah's ark that really floats, and windblown helicopters that floats prayers down from the sky.
Hands-On Faith is perfect for classroom use, but also is a great work-along tool for parents who wish to impart lessons of faith to their children in fun ways that kids are bound to love.
