YW lesson 6 Handout: Sharing Work in the Home

By 6 Comments

So I was pondering what to give my church girls this week as handout. Lesson 6 is on sharing work in the home so I immediately thought something “houseworky” but not totally lame. I took a trip to the Dollar Tree and this is what I came up with.

To incorporate the wands, I am going to talk about the fairies in Sleeping Beauty and how everything was done by magic, so when they went to make the cake and the dress for Sleeping Beauty’s birthday and could not use magic it was a real mess. I am going to compare it to how sometimes we think things will be magically done by our mothers, but we need to learn to do them ourselves so when the time comes and we are own our own we aren’t stuck in a mess.

I think they turned out rather cute. I got the “magic erasers”, the heart sticks and the tulle all at the dollar store so I was only out 3 bucks! I hot glued two corners of the message on so it would stay together, but then they could rip it off and use the eraser.

Here is the handout 8 to a page if you would like to use it. Just click on the pick and it will make it bigger.

As a bonus idea that would be fun for some Sunday service you could make these adorable Rice Krispie Hershey Kisses. I got the idea from Homemaking Fun. Use the funnel trick! It makes them sooo easy!! They have her funnel at Dollar Tree, saw it today! Mine is a little different, but I just squished the top a little after I took it out to round it a bit. I made the message with a Sharpie (I wish I had a blue one!) and parchment paper so it would have that thin feel like in the real kisses.

We did heart attacks this week for our Young Women activity. We cut out tons of paper hearts and then picked a few family’s in the neighborhood who we thought could use some extra love. We spread out tons of hearts on the porch along with a Rice Krispie Hershey Kiss for each family member. Then, the girls would ring the doorbell and run.

The girls loved it and one of our less active girls even said it was the funnest thing she’d ever done. Score!!
