5.0 out of 5 stars Before and After Easter, September 5, 2000

By	Margaret McLaughlin (National City, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Before and After Easter: Activities and Ideas for Lent to Pentecost (Paperback)

I have used this excellent book in teaching preschool teachers about the symbolism and the activities for the lenten season.

The activities are wonderful expressions of this holy season. The layout of the book includes a background on the activity as well as the activity and ways in which to use within the classroom or the family. Very spiritual and uplifting resource guide for any teacher.

In my particular teaching setting, I have encouraged all teachers to purchase this book.
