June Visiting Teaching Message Handout & TheLDSStore.com Giveaway

By 20 Comments

Giveaway below sponsored by TheLDSStore.com. 

The June Visiting Teaching Message is titled The Divine Mission of Jesus Christ: Minister. My favorite quote and thus the one that made the handout is simple, four words actually, but powerful. First observe, then serve. Linda K. Burton hit the nail on the head. We should watch out for those around us and when we see a need fill it.

Valentine’s Day Valentines {Plane Awesome}

By 22 Comments

This is my first year making Valentine’s Day Valentines for my son to take to school. Of course we didn’t want anything too girly and they get way too much candy, so I took him to the dollar store to have a look. Luckily, we found six packs of airplanes for a dollar so we settled on a “plane” awesome theme!
Valentine’s Day Valentines: You’re just PLANE awesome!
We pretty much love them and they were so easy!
Plane awesome supplies:
  • Toy airplanes
  • Mini Glue dots
  • Color printer
  • White cardstock
  • Paper cutter
  • Glue (I used what came with the glitter)
  • Martha Stewart heart shaped glitter
We printed four of the following image to a page on white cardstock. That is what worked best with our size planes.

Cut out your cards and glue dot the wheels of the planes to the cards.

Draw three contrails (aka the white trails planes leave) from the back of the plane using your glue. Mix multiple colors of glitter hearts in a bowl. Pour the glitter on the glue and shake the excess glitter hearts back in to the bowl. Let the glue dry.

Voila! You have created a cool kid’s Valentine’s Day valentine that is just plane awesome and may I mention allergy safe! My sons class has gluten, nut and red dye allergies this year. Find a valentine treat that avoids all that, I dare you! Or do the easy road like me and just do a toy instead.

My son is happy to have a cool valentine and I’m happy it was extremely affordable and easy!

General Conference Activity

By 13 Comments

It’s that time again! LDS General Conference is almost here and I am always looking for things to entertain the kids. Here is a fall themed coloring page I made for an easy printable General Conference Activity. Who doesn’t love a little pumpin this time of year?!

I love to have coloring pages that include words to listen for during general conference. It is easy to color for my little pre-readers, but also has something a little more challenging for the kids who can read. I find it helps them listen to the talks and pick out the topics discussed during conference.

Here are some more great General Conference activites:
