How can a family celebrate feast days?

[mommy2juju]

I have a two-year-old boy who loves to go to church and say hello to all the saints and carry a cross in his pocket. We practice little prayers at home and he loves doing crafts. My husband and I celebrate feast days by going to Mass but we want to start celebrating all the feast days at home also and do crafts with our son, maybe prepare a special food dish. Any ideas?

Note: If you can find reasonably-priced original editions of the following books by Mary Reed Newland, they are far superior to the reprint editions. If not, the following editions will still be very helpful.
