I like to color with my kids: it makes for some conversation-time that we wouldn't normally take the time to have. I also like Pauline Media's coloring/activity books: the drawings are simple, easy to color images that reflect the theme of the specific book. This particular book, Fun with Saints: Double the Fun, includes a double-page spread for 30 saints: a picture to color, a short biography of the saint, a simple prayer (that would be perfect for copywork), and a puzzle or activity page to reinforce some aspect of the saint's life.
Saints included in this book: Mary, Mother of God; Joseph; Paul; Nicholas; Monica; Patrick; Benedict; Francis; Anthony; Elizabeth of Hungary; Clare; Catherine of Siena; Joan of Arc; Juan Diego; Ignatius; Francis Xavier; Rose; Lorenzo Ruiz; Martin de Porres; Isaac Jogues; (Bl.) Kateri Tekakwitha; Bernadette; Damien of Molokai; Therese of Lisieux; (Bls.) Jacinta & Francisco Marto; Faustina; Bakhita; Katherine Drexel; Pio of Pietrelcina; and (Bl.) Teresa of Calcutta.
One thing I really appreciate about the Pauline books (and this is no exception) is the duplicating rights Pauline Media grants to the owner of the book: up to 30 copies, with no more than 3 pages copied at a time, which must be provided free and in an educational setting. So for instance, you can copy the pages for a CCD class, a homeschool co-op, or even just within your own family. This is a very generous authorization and one I really appreciate!
