52 Crafts

Donna Scorer's 1998 Novalis Press handbook offers one craft project for every week of the liturgical year, tying hands-on activities directly to the rhythms of the Church calendar. Butterflies for Easter, mangers for Advent — the projects are straightforward enough for Sunday School classrooms and home use alike, with adult guidance. The liturgical structure is what sets this apart from generic craft books: every project carries intentional theological meaning tied to the season. That makes it genuinely useful for Christian educators and families who want faith formation to be active and not just verbal. The honest caveat is narrow appeal — this is specifically for church education contexts, and some materials from a 1998 craft book may be harder to source today. Within its lane, though, it is a purposeful and well-organized resource.
