LDS General Conference Granola - You-KNOW-a To Listen to the Prophet GRANOLA











The label above can be copied by clicking on the picture, to make it bigger.  Then right click your mouse and copy and paste it into your program, or save it into your pictures.  Then you can resize it to size that you need.  I printed mine out on Avery 5163 labels with a printing program. 



The labels above can either be printed out on sticker paper, or you can use it as a tag on the bag, or you can glue it on with a glue stick or double sided tape.

 I attached the label to a snack sized bag of granola.

Heavenly Father Gave Us Insects To Make Our World Better - FREE PRINTOUT



As I was Preparing my Primary Lesson
 (https://www.lds.org/manual/print/primary-1/lesson-13?lang=eng )
 on "I Am Thankful for Birds and Insects"
I thought that it would be fun to adapt
my Valentine's "Bugs and Kisses" to the lesson. 
And... Since I had just put Lady Bugs in my backyard, I thought that it would be fun to fill the bags with Lady Bugs from the nursery.  So... I changed the sign to fit my lesson.  I poked small holes in the bag for the Lady Bugs to get air.  I also added some moist sticks and leaves.  The kids and I took one of the bags outside to open on the grass so that they could play with them.  Then I gave them each a bag to take home.  The lesson went great and the children loved their Lady Bugs.
To print these out just copy and paste it into your printing program, or you can right click on the picture and save it into your pictures.  You can resize it to the size that you need.

TREATS
For my treats I gave the children honey sticks that I got from a good friend of mine.  Her family owns a bee farm and she sell honey products.  The children and I were able to talk about bees and honey, and they could see how yummy the honey is.  It was a wonderful treat.
