Product Description
Sometimes the best way to learn about a celebration is to celebrate it. And it?s a great way to teach it, too! There?s no better way to help youngsters celebrate the Church?s customs, traditions, and feast days ? throughout the liturgical year ? than Ann Ball?s Catholic Traditions in the Home and Classroom. Here?s not only the "best of Ball" ? material from her immensely popular Catholic Traditions in Cooking, Catholic Traditions in Crafts, and Catholic Traditions in the Garden ? but even more original recipes, projects, and activities ? something for every day of the year. If you?re not a four-star chef, a master gardener, an arts-and-crafts guru, and a catechist with a graduate degree in theology, Catholic Traditions in the Home and Classroom is the book for you! Here ? in clear language with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions ? are simple ways to cook, celebrate nature, and craft fun as you discover more about the rich heritage of the Catholic Faith. Here are blueprints for building solid Catholic identity for home or class.

 Learning by celebrating November 21, 2008
When I first flipped through the pages of this book, I new this would be a resource I'd return to throughout the year. Not only that, but it's a book I'd find very useful for years to come! Although I was baptized Catholic, my CCD did not include much information about the saints. I came upon a true treasure for my children and me. My only gripe is the small black and white pictures of some of the craft projects-very hard to see what some of them are supposed to be!
 Absolutely wonderful August 30, 2008

I criticized what I believe is the newest Ann Ball book for many reasons, not the least of which were the crafts.
This book is all anyone could ask for in an interactive Catholic book.
Each day is either identified as a saint's day or as an ordinary day to be enjoyed with God. There are crafts, recipes, information about plants and herbs, and of course information about each named saint.
So far I've tried two of the recipes, and they were big hits-piroshkies and chicken paprikas.
The best way to use this book would be to check it out over the weekend and see what you and your family could incorporate into the coming week. There's just so much to read about and do, you could cycle this book through many years and never repeat anything (unless you wanted to).
Concrete Reminders of Faith For Children July 13, 2008
I love that this is an ACTIVE book. Reading daily Scripture, attending Mass are all important parts of faith, but the activities in this book are tangible things to DO with your children.
Reminding them of the Church and their faith though crafts and activities is a concrete way for kids to get involved - and with an activity every day, you'll never run out of ideas.
I'm no super mom, and there's no way I could actually accomplish every activity each and every day - so one of the nicest things about this book is you can pick up on whatever calendar day you happen to be on. No need to go back or feel guilty for missed days, just begin wherever you are.
Nice Book May 31, 2008
I received my order in a timely manner and was well pleased. The book is supposedly used, but it appears to be new. Thanks so much!
Great Resource for last minute or extra activity... January 9, 2007

Catholic Traditions In the Home and Classrooms: 365 Days to Celebrate A Catholic Year is a great resource and find. It can get you through the class if you are looking for supplemental material or you can base an entire class or lesson on one of the ideas/traditions found in this book. It is a real great resource for every Director of a Program to have. Some of the traditions would be "lost" if it weren't for this book.
