Fun With the Holy Family

Do you have kids who love to color? Who are constantly clamoring for you to print out a picture for them to color, please!  Kids who will go through a case of printer paper faster than you can turn around? If so, then I have a book for you to put into your budding artists' hands.

Fun With the Holy Family is a coloring and activity book from Pauline Books and Media.  Every other page in this 64 page book is a wonderful picture depicting a scene from the life of the Holy Family.  The other pages are various activities and games to help the child learn more of the Holy Family's story.  These activities include mazes, word games, drawing activities, and craft ideas.

When this book arrived, most of the kids were begging for a chance to use it first.  Today I opened the book to a coloring page showing the Annunciation and gave it to Gabe.  He was very thrilled to have a chance to color someone with "his name" and spent quite a bit of time showing the book to his older sister.  I know, I should have cute pictures to share with you but I am a bit of a slacker mom who is battling morning sickness and just thought to myself "Hey, look.  They are sitting so quietly and seem so happy.  I'm going to enjoy the quiet for a bit and sit down," and only realized that pictures would have been awesome after they were up and running again.

Fun With the Holy Family is a perfect book for kids in the 5-8 age range.  Younger kids will love coloring the pictures but the older kids will love the activity pages.
