Hi! If any of you have made the Liturgical year poster, similar to what is shown in CHC's A Year With God, how did you make the wheel? My first problem, is how to draw a perfect circle THAT BIG, and then, how do you make the wheel from there? Any advice? Thank you!
Marianne

We got a big kitchen bowl and traced around it on a big white poster board in pencil for the big circle. We got another kitchen container (slightly smaller than the big one) and traced around it for making the outside color bands. We colored these using colored pencils - but wait to color them until you've done all the penciling in of the dates or days. Then we got a much smaller kitchen container and traced around it for the center where the arrow goes.
We did everything in pencil first so that we could erase and re-do anything that didn't come out like we wanted. We glued mini saint cards around the outside for the feasts, etc. and got the dc with the best penmanship to do the actual writing. Everyone helped color the liturgical season color bands. My dh cut out the arrow from black poster board (smaller one - any stiff cardboard glued to the back of construction paper would work) and attached it with a brad clip.
Ours is not as artistic as CHC's, but it works and it was the best job we could do.

Dear Marianne,
I have not been that creative myself but I will show you what I bought, that may work as a guide,  it is so very colourful! Then we put pictures of the saints for each day on, the children love to do that, so that they are referring to it every day.
This particular wheel has 6 A4 sheets (that how big the whole sheet is) on the back with information that can be photocopied for use with the children - I haven't done that myself this year, and this is the first year I have used a liturgical wheel.
Hope this may help.
This is an update - I had just been looking at the recent 'Ken Done the artist' thread and noticed that women were posting images of Ken Done that could be seen! I didn't realise that it could be done like that! Wow - so I thought that I would change this post and use it in the future for suitable things.

If you want a smaller one, the lid of your wok or frypan can work.

I bought the Liturgical Wheel at St Pauls Bookshop in Brisbane, I think it cost $9.95.

That is really neat, Anne. It looks like the ones that are printed by Liturgical Training Publications each year. The saints pictures didn't come with it or did they? Where did you get those - are they a sticker set?

Yes that's where the wheel comes from! Liturgical Training Publications. From the US originally (like most things are.)
The pictures are a liturgical set here but they were too big for the wheel unfortunately(didn't realise this until I had opened them!  ) so I printed them up on paper and had them shrunk down to fit and glue them on.
The only thing is the stickers follow the old calendar, so I had to find pictures for some of the saints on the new calander that are not on the old - did this by google image searching, then saving them and shrinking them right down to the same size as the rest - I then saved those ones in files by the different months. It also means that some of the saints images do not belong on the day they have designated, so I have to do some swapping around.
It might seem like a big job to image search the whole year month by month but I think once you get the hang of the whole process, it gets quick and easy enough - the good thing is, once you've done it once you can got them for good - I might even attempt that myself next year and just do it in monthly lots.
What you would really need to make things easy is get 11 other mums to commit to doing one month each, you do yours and then email them to the other 11 and receive their files too! There might not be enough interested though I'd be happy to do more than one month. I'd certainly be in if someone wanted to attempt it. Just a thought.

What a wonderful poster, Anne! Thank you so much for sharing that. I want to buy that now and the sticker album so we can start reading about a saint each day. I found this book and it has a saint for every day of the year. Does anyone have this? It looks great and i think it would be great if we got into the habit of reading about the Saint(s) of each day. Here's the link. It's called Saints for Young Readers for Everyday. It's 2 volumes and $15 each so not too expensive, imo. Tell me what you think or if you have it. TIA!!

I love this and we will be getting it. Thanks for the idea.
We're also getting these planners. The teacher version will help me a lot, i think.

Dear graciefaith,
Those books look very familiar and I like the idea of saints books that have one for each day of the year - does it follow the calander or alphabetical order?

According to the review, the first volume contains saints from January to June and the second volume for the rest of the year so im guessing it follows the calendar. I think im going to get it.
eta: here is a link to the reviews on it from Amazon.

We have these books and use them regularly. There is a Saint for each day. They follow the Church calendar and give a short synopsis of each. We use them as a part of morning prayer, asking that Saint for their intercession. I use the very same list of Saints (since it's the offical listing of the Church for the Latin rite) in my planners so my kids see the Saint's name for each day in their student planners and then hear a little bit about their life during our morning prayer time.
God bless!

I grew up on these two volumes, the older version pre-Vatican II calendar. Loved those pictures. This must be the remake...does it have the newer saints? When was it published?

Jenn, it's the updated calendar. The volumes I have were published in 1995.
We recommend these in Mater Amabilis too.
