Homemade, Recycle Bin Shoe Box Bible Dioramas

It's 8 pm and darling daughter is wailing. She forgot to make her school diorama project due TOMORROW! Been there done that. But being an eleventh hour girl myself, I bailed her out. The whole family helped. We made an awesome woodland Native American diorama with stuff around the house. From that experience grew this guide to making homemade shoe box dioramas for any content area. All you need is a recycle bin, craft scraps, household junk and a little ingenuity. And I was thinking--this project would be great for homeschool, Vacation Bible School, religious education. Catholic kids might use it to make dioramas, or retablos of saints or Bible stories.  Here's one we saw in Lousiana at St. John the Evangel in Lafayette. Homemade, Recycle Bin Shoe Box Dioramas, Miniatures, Props

Frugal Father's Day fun for Catholic families, Homeschoolers

Advertisers would have us believe that in order to show a loved one a good time a lot of money must be spent. Holidays that revolve around family members, like Mother's Day and Father's Day, are especially prone to guilt-based giving. This idea of commercialized family celebrations goes against the purpose of the holiday and against church teaching. Most parents don't want their children to overspend. Here are ways Catholic families (or anyone!) can create a festive, meaningful Father's Day party without spending an arm and a leg. Honor Jesus, St. Joseph and dad with these cheap fun family activities. Frugal Father's Day fun for families
