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.
