Pray With Mary: A Child's Book of the Rosary Nothing says "Catholic" like the rosary. That familiar string of beads is a common identifier of our Catholic tradition of honoring Mary, the Mother of Jesus. Because the rosary is such an integral part of our Catholic heritage, every Catholic child deserves to know why we pray it and how to pray it. Activities engage the children in this hands-on tool for showing the connections the rosary makes for us to Mary, God, the universal Church, and the world. A total of 25 activities includes favorite formats like dot-to-dot, coloring, decoding, rebuses, drawing, crossword puzzle, crafts, and more. Activities include: "Fill and Feel": Create a rosary with a pencil on the illustration provided, then "feel the beads" by lightly touching the backside of the page; "A-maze-ing Faith": A three-way maze connects our hearts to God and our actions to love; "Creed Connections": Children learn the prayers of the rosary and see the connections between those prayers, the Trinity, and the core beliefs of our faith.
