General Conference Activities for Kids-Temple Sewing Card and First Presidency Coloring Page

September 24, 2009 By Michelle Barneck 15 Comments

LDS General Conference can always be a tough time for kids. It can be difficult to keep them quiet and reverent during sessions for two days. We can all use some ideas and activities to keep the little ones interested and engaged. I created a couple of General Conference Activities for kids.

First off, I made a temple sewing card by adding dots to a Salt Lake temple image from Mormon Share. I printed it on a piece of 4×6 photo paper so it would have some strength. Then, laminated it using clear contact paper. Then, I punched holes where the dots were.


I took a piece of 3/8 inch ribbon and rolled one end and taped it so it would be like the end of a shoelace. Then, I tied it to the bottom corner.

Then, I gave it the ultimate test with the little guy. He loved it!

I also wanted a President Monson coloring page. Many of the ones I had seen did not look much like him, or did not have him smiling. Many of the pictures are so serious and I wanted my little boy to see his prophet happy and full of love. I found this picture of the First Presidency from the press conference when President Thomas S. Monson was called and immediately fell in love it. I threw it in to Photoshop and played with it until it looked like something to color.

    @Brittany If you click the temple thumbnail image it will take you to photobucket where you can either right click and save or there is a link to download on the right sidebar.
