5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent activity book for Pagan children!, December 9, 1999

By A Customer

This book was a lifesaver! Our community was desparately in need of religious education materials which would hold the interest of younger (3-8 yr old) children, and echo the lessons in our children's circles. I was overjoyed to find it. All illustrations are black and white line art, so the kids can color each page, and they include explanations for the Sabbats, and activities such as word searches and mazes. My daughter loves it. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for children to explore other religions..., October 21, 2000

By	Laura Haggarty (Northern KY USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This book is a great book for kids between about 6 and 12. It can be looked at on several levels. On one level, it's a coloring book kids can fill in which has pictures of a number of pagan principles and archetypes. On another level this book is a tool a parent can use to discuss the more complicated aspects of human religions and how tolerance is important for all the paths that we as humans walk.

The book has pages which include: moon phases, what a worship circle is and means to a pagan, aspects of the Goddess and the God, various pagan symbols and their meanings, a discussion of the various pagan holidays (focusing mostly on Celtic/Wicca ones), and discusses the Wiccan Rede. As well there are mazes, games, and puzzles for kids to do.

All in all this is a well-rounded introduction to pagan ideas for children. It's a good book for pagan families, as well as those who may simply be exploring other religions. Don't hesitate to buy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars -Wiccan- Kids Activity Book, July 8, 2004

By	Indra Blackthorne (Farmersville, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I live with a two year old in a pagan family. As a former art education student I am particularly interested in age appropriate methods to teach children in a pagan context. I respect Amber K's art and writings so I decided to pay the money and check out her activity book

I was pleased when I received it. There are thirty-six pages in all, and it is printed on good quality, recycled paper. I do not feel as if the pages or binding will fall apart, as does happen with other activity books I have come across.

I enjoyed looking through this activity book. There are informative sections and a downright hilarious page called "cakes 'n' wine" where the child picks out the things that down fit in the picture.

This book can be used for a wide age range. Copy off the pages (for personal use only) and let the little ones color. As they get older they can read the book and work out puzzles. I particularly liked the "looking at the moon" activity where the child matches the moon phases with their names. There is a wheel of the year diagram to put the Sabbats in the right order. A few adults could benefit from that.

I titled this review a "Wiccan Kids Activity Book" as it philosophically relates more to the Wiccan part of the Pagan population. Most noticeably, the Wiccan Rede is included. Though both the God and Goddess are represented, I feel tone of the book leans more towards to the Goddess being more important, on page 6 most notably.

The answers are listed in the back.

Happy reading, and enjoy this one with your kids.
