Missionary Card or Father's Day Card

This card could be used for Father's Day or to give to a missionary.

 

Cut about a 1 1/2" cut down the middle at the top of the card :

Then fold each side down at an angle to make the collar of the shirt.:

Just click on the shirt and then right click it, copy it, paste it, and size it to the page, then print it out.

Have the kids color a tie, and glue or tape it down under the collar.  You can embellish it with the pocket, or the name tag, or both.   They can also write the Elder's name on the name tag.  There is also a Father's Day Poem in the Primary Handouts if you would like to use it for Father's Day.  Have fun!

Just click on the ties and then right click it, copy it, paste it, and size it to the page, then print it out.

Heavenly Father Gave Us the Gift of Animals

Color and cut out the box pattern.  Follow the directions on the pattern.  Glue all the sides of the box.  I reinforced mine with tape.  I gave the children foam animals to fill up their gift box.

Another activity with a story about being kind to animals:http://hollyshome-hollyshome-hollyshome.blogspot.com/2011/06/i-can-choose-right-by-being-kind-to.html

Father's Day Poem

I used it on the inside of a card.  I used white card stock paper for the card.  I made a shirt out of the card stock paper (see post listed below), then the kids colored a tie. 
They can use this poem for the inside.

You can also make some Bread and Butter Pickles for Father's Day.
Click on the link below the picture to learn how.
It incudes a cute printout for the pickles.

Book - Joseph Smith Translates the Book of Mormon

This shows you how to make a book about how Joseph Smith got the Golden Plates
and translated them into the Book of Mormon.


When you copy and paste these sheets, make sure to enlarge them to fit the entire piece of paper (top to bottom, not the width), or the book will be out of alignment.

Cover (Print on Card Stock)

This is the cover of the book.  It makes two book covers.  Cut it in the middle of the page at 5 1/2" to make two separate book covers.  I like to print the cover on card stock.  Make sure the picture lines up with the right edge of the paper.

These next two pages will both be printed on one piece of paper. 

One will go on one side of the paper, the other will go on the opposite side of the paper. 

Remember to enlarge the graphics to fit the entire page.  

Print this next graphic on to the back side of the graphic above. 

Make sure they both face the same direction.

Cut the paper exactly in the middle. 

Put half sheet that has pages 4 & 5 on top of the pages that have 2 & 7. 

Make sure the numbers go in correct order. 

Then put both of those pages on the inside of the cover page. 

Carefully fold them all in half.  Staple on the left side. 

You have just created a book!



What Should We do on the Sabbath?

What should you do on the Sabbath Day?

On the calendar color all the days that are Sunday.  Then have them color the pictures that are keeping the Sabbath Day Holy.  Put an X on the ones that are not keeping the Sabbath.

The holiness of the Sabbath is in our hearts as much as in our actions. Henry Ward Beecher expressed this truth when he said: “A world without a Sabbath would be like a man without a smile, like a summer without flowers, and like a homestead without a garden. It is the joyous day of the whole week.”

(In Ezra Taft Benson, Ensign, May 1971, p. 5.)

Talent Money

Talent Money

Color the pictures and cut out the money. 

You can also make two copies and use them for the matching game.

Works best if you use card stock.

For there are many gifts, and to every man is given a gift by the Spirit of God (D&C 46:11).

From the Friend:  Sharing Time: I Have Talents by Laurel Rohlfing

It has a story of children finding their talents through service. 

It also includes finger puppets for the story.

Make a Liahona

The Liahona

Just color and cut out the circle "compass" and the pointer.  Use a brad to secure the pointer in the center. 

If you don't have a brad, then you can use yarn and a needle.  Just tie a knot in your yarn, then pull it through the center of the Liahona, with the knot on the back side.  Then pull the needle through the blunt end of the arrow.  Pull the arrow all the way down the yarn until it lays flat against the Liahona.  Tie the yarn in a knot, and cut off the yarn.  There should be a knot at

the back of the Liahona, and one on the front, with the yarn pulled tight in the middle.

 

The Liahona - A Compass of Faith from the Friend.  It includes a dot to dot worksheet and pictures that you can use for telling the story, or for the kids to color:http://lds.org/friend/1987/06/sharing-time-compass-of-faith?lang=eng&query=liahona
