Catholic Family Fun by Sarah Reinhard is a playful book, jammed-packed with everyday activities and adventures for families, using easy to find materials that you probably have on hand….or requiring nothing but a burst of energy to run around outside.The book is organized by the type of activity: silly things, story starters, at home projects, meals to share, outside fun, places to go and my favorite: Faith with fun, introducing saints through fun activities, ways to serve and approaches to prayer.Some of Sarah’s descriptions sound like activities we already do, with an animated Dad and kids only too eager to act goofy along with him! I really enjoy the section on Faith with Fun which includes a guide for making a Mary Garden, getting inspired to use holy cards and tapping into the Catholic Calendar of Saints!I’m even more impressed however, by the Faith Angle associated with all of the different activities: these echo my own sneaky aspirations of converting to Catholic the fun activities that kids want to do anyway….and have inspired many of our Cathletics Craft Kits and activities showcased at Equipping Catholic Families.I really like Sarah’s down-to-earth, ‘a Mom-like-me’ writing style and the helpful upfront prep time, duration and cost indicators at the beginning of each craft.
