My son, who is 5 years old, loves his "Little Workbook of Wicca"! It's just on par with what he's learning in Kindergarden. The book features a coloring page for each letter of the alphabet (A is for Athame,etc) and large writing lines to practice handwriting,including upper and lower case letters, and the name of the object to color. My son will color pages and ask me about the pictures, and it's a great way to begin some conversations about Wicca. There are also pages about numbers from one to thirteen, and colors as well. I was delighted to find a few new songs for kids, written to common tunes. If you kids are too young for the "Pagan Kids Activity Book" by Amber K, this one will be PERFECT! The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is that a few of the coloring pages could have a bit better art, but honestly, kids won't care a bit! I hope to see more books like this in the future, though I would like to see them better priced. In addition to parents, I also recommend that Wiccan Clergy people may find it useful to have a copy of this book around at events where young children might need such a educational activity.

"My First Little Workbook of Wicca," by Rev. Velvet Rieth is an excellent book for pagan children ages 4 to 7. Although I think it should have more parental participation than stated, it is a very good starting point for introducing young'uns to some of the basics of Wicca. A "homework" format, with lots of pages to color, covers the alphabet, colors, and numbers. I was a bit disappointed to find that the numbers weren't explained as the alphabet and colors were, though. The activities sections of the book are very nicely done, teaching the basics of the elements as well as everyday common sense guidance, pagan or not. The songs included are great (as long as you can remember the tune to the original songs). The "Wheel of the Year" is lots of fun! Lastly, the alphabet and numbers card games/studies at the end of the book are terrific! I highly recommend this book for the little witches in your Circle.

I bought this book based on the customer reviews and would love to have my money back.

A Witch's Primer: Grade: One by Lorin Manderly
and the Wicca Workbook for Families were MUCH better.

This book consisted of only abc practice writing pages and crude drawings. We liked the pentagram but it wasn't worth the cost of the book.

Skip this over glorified little book.

I bought this workbook for my 5 year old daughter who has shown great interest in Paganism/Wicca for about a year now since she hi-jacked my pentacle necklace. She absolutely loves the coloring pages, and was thrilled when she seen the pentacle on the cover. This book covers all the things she is learning in school and adds the benefit of introducing her to items and symbols from the Wicca religion, some of which she is already familiar with. The activities include such things as pattern recognition, alphabet, numbers, colors, seasons, mazes, bigger->smaller, and cut out alphabet cards at the back of the book.

I recommend this workbook to any parents who follow the pagan/wicca path and want to introduce it to their children in a way that they can understand.

I use this workbook as part of our homeschool day for my 5 yo. My 8 and 10 yo even join in when we decide to sing the songs. It is wonderful and really helps incorporate the beliefs along with learning to write and read. I wish we had a lot more books like this!

I bought this for my youngest son who loves it! Its just like his schoolwork in kindergarden and it is a great opportunity to teach children to be aware of not just wicca but paganism, which is why I love it. There are a few advanced pages for older kids but it is definitely mostly for young children just learning letter and learning to read. I really think they could make this book a LOT more affordable but with such limited options for children it isn't like there is anything similar to spend your money on instead....

My boys and I looked through this together, and we all loved it. I think it was a bit too simple for my 6 and 4 year old boys, but I didn't mind because it did say 1st, which implies kindergarten level.
My biggest problem with this book is that it is really a one use only kind of book, unless you have a really good scanner/printer. That means that if you have multiple children, you need multiple books, or if your child wants to practice the pages over and over, you would need to keep buying new copies. In that sense, it would be far better as a spiral bound or digital copy where it would be easy to print up a couple copies of each page for families with more than one child to use. And even better than that would be an interactive CD in which the kids could play around with virtual activities, such as using the Athame to cast a circle, or the besom to sweep away negative energy. This would help them with pronunciation as well since they would hear the words over and over, not to mention teach them to be familiar with cartain aspects of rituals that can be confusing to young children.
I will end this review with a note of hope; Rev. Reith, please come out with the next level, aimed at students who already know their ABC's and are just learning to read!

This is a wonderful way to teach children and I've enjoyed it just as much as they have.

This workbook is great. It teaches a few of the basics, like the ABC's, with a Wiccan touch. Each page can be colored. There's letter and number cards that can be cut out. They aren't any thicker than regular paper though. It teaches the days of the week and the signs of the zodiac. Theres a list of activities and a few prayers. It teaches the seasons, grouping, simple math, patterns, colors, numbers, and it has tons of lines for printing practice. It would work with a child from 3-7 years old. There's a ton of stuff, it's a pretty thick book.

This is a great book for the little ones in any group. Our kids love this.
