All of the wooden figures and pieces on this listing are simple cutouts with no engraving of any sort.

Characteristic 25 of the Points of Reflection for the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd states:

"The reasons why the catechist is requested to make the materials with his/her own hands are:

• to absorb the content more deeply;
• to combat hurry, consumerism, and even excessive “efficiency”;
• to pace oneself more to the rhythm of the child and thus also, or so we believe, to the working of the Holy Spirit;
• to try to reach the integration of hand, mind, and heart."

One way to apply this characteristic is to draw or paint the wooden, 2-dimensional figures yourself.  If this is a desire that you foster as a catechist and fits your Atrium needs, then we've created this listing for you.  All of the wooden figures and pieces on this listing are simple cutouts with no engraving of any sort.  Our offerings include the following:
