One of my favorite resources this year is Catholic Mosaic by Cay Gibson. Catholic Mosaic is an illustrated book study filled with great ideas and activities for living the liturgical year with literature.
I recently used the study with seventeen young children ranging in age from five to ten years old. Our Co-op semester included 6 classes, each about forty-five minutes long. I chose books that were short in length in order to give us time to do a project to add to our lap books. Since some of the kids were young, I made each project for the lap book very simple.
Donna,
So simple yet so rich in its simplicity.
These are wonderful and so do-able for any family.
Thank you for sharing and thank you for your kind words about Catholic Mosaic. :)
