The Big Book of Catholic Customs and Traditions for Children's Faith Formation Review
User Submitted The Big Book of Catholic Customs and Traditions for Children's Faith Formation ReviewsJanuary 14, 2008 Excellent Resource 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. October 19, 2007 Well organized 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. April 5, 2007 Big Book of Catholic Costomes Activites I thougnt the book was very good, Very glad I bought the book.. January 18, 2007 A great way to help teach your child Catholic 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! January 11, 2007 A learning experience for the whole family 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. August 16, 2006 Great book for PSR and at home 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. March 13, 2006 Great book for education 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. March 12, 2006 The Big Book of Catholic Customs This is a great book - lots of fun ideas for the kids! January 12, 2006 I've been looking for a book like this!! 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! December 4, 2004 Great book 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. For more The Big Book of Catholic Customs and Traditions for Children's Faith Formation reviews click here.
