To help them remember the real “reason for the season,” popular author Jenny Erickson has prepared some simple, delightful activities for My Favorite Advent and Christmas Activity Book. In addition to Advent and Christmas, she offers activities and prayers for the New Year, the feast of the Holy Family, and Epiphany. Children will enjoy the riddles, mazes, coloring pages, crosswords, crafts, and more. At the same time they will learn about seasonal symbols, traditions, prayers, and important events in Scripture. Catechists can use the reproducible pages as part of their lessons, to introduce, reinforce, or review important aspects of the Advent and Christmas seasons. Families can use the book to celebrate these seasons together in an enjoyable and meaningful way. My Favorite Advent and Christmas Activity Book is a wonderful, “star-lit” resource for bringing the seasons into your religion sessions in class or at home.
