Last December, I was asked to speak at my sweet niece's baptism. As I was looking for ideas, I came across a Kit Kat Object Lesson from Strong Armor and knew it was exactly what I should talk about. It's basically a "KIT" that describes the three covenants we make at baptism (one starts with a -K- the other with an -A- and the other with a -T-. I will always look at Kit Kats differently now! FREE Download: Kit Kat Baptismal Object Lesson "When we are baptized we make special promises with Heavenly Father. These promises are called covenants and are very special, because it is a double promise. This means that we promise Heavenly Father certain things and Heavenly promises us things in return. This Kit Kat bar helps us remember the promises we make at baptism. The first word we see is “KIT”. Have you seen a tool kit before? Or a medical kit? A kit is a set of items you would need to do something. For instance, a tool kit has a lot of different too...

Ocean Foil Painting

March 15, 2017

We love foil painting. Last year, my three used monster trucks to paint on foil and this year, my three and 21 month old used q-tips to paint an ocean scene. They both really enjoyed painting and using ocean stickers to complete their ocean. You can view our other Letter O Activities by clicking the link. Here's what you need: Cardboard Poster Board (I bought mine from The Dollar Tree and cut it into fourths) Tinfoil Tape (I used packing tape, but I'm sure any kind would work) Paint (we used dark blue, light blue and white tempera paint) Q-tips Glitter (optional) Ocean Stickers (or print ocean clipart to glue on) 1) Wrap a piece of tinfoil around your piece of cardboard. Tape the tinfoil (on the back side of the cardboard) into place. 2) Squeeze paint onto the foil and have your child(ren) swirl the paint around with a q-tip. My 21-month old decided to use his hands to paint (top left), which made the paint lift and chip off a bit when the paint dried....

Family Home Evening: Baptism

October 19, 2016

**Other Baptismal Lessons: Kit Kat Baptismal Covenants , here (includes covenants with pictures) and here (includes baptism jeopardy). Prayer: Scripture - John 3:5. Explain that Jesus is speaking in this verse and teaching us something we need to do in order to live in heaven again with Heavenly Father and Jesus. Read the verse and explain that "born of water" is referring to baptism. Song: " When Jesus Christ was Baptized " from the Children's Songbook page 102. When Jesus Was Baptized: Use these visuals (shown below) to teach your children about when Jesus was baptized. Each visual has a summary included. I printed the summaries and glued them onto the back of the pictures, so I could show my children the pictures while reading the summary on the back. Point out any additional details you'd like in the pictures. When I Am Baptized: Teach your children that they can be baptized just as Jesus was baptized. Use these visuals (s...

The Holy Ghost (1): "The Holy Ghost Helps Me" Object Lesson

October 24, 2015

This lesson contains some ideas from the current nursery manual, Behold Your Little Ones. Click the link to view the original lesson, " The Holy Ghost Helps Me " from LDS.org. Prayer : Song : " I Know my Father Lives " - Primary Children's Songbook page 5. After we sang the song, we reviewed the words: I know my Father lives and loves me too (touch hand to chest) The Spirit whispers this to me and tells me it is true (cup hand to ear) And tells me it is true. I told my two that another name for "The Spirit" is the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is a gift from our Heavenly Father to help us. Heavenly Father talks to us through the Holy Ghost. Holy Ghost Object Lesson : This took a little bit of preparation, but it was really fun. I got a bunch of objects (see our list below) together that explain ways the Holy Ghost speaks to us. I put them in a box and wrapped the box prior to the lesson. My two unwrapped the "gift" and ...

Do you have a favorite tradition to remember the Savior at Christmas? Please comment below. 1) Read Books about Jesus' Birth . We love to read at our house.
