Activity Days 2015: January-May

We have been having so much fun
with Activity Days this year! 

Here's what we've been up to...

Jan. 14th- Tie Dye Shirts
This was our first activity.
We were able to chat, get to know each other
better and made tie dye shirts.

Jan. 28th- Budget Lesson

We made money jars out of mason jars & duct tape.

We talked about the importance of paying tithing.

We had some extra time left over,

so we made personal place mats for the nursery kids

to use during their snack time.

Feb. 11th- Heart Attacking the Bishop's Office!

The girls LOVED this activity.

March 11th- Quilt Tying

We made a quilt for Ava's baby sister,

who was born at the end of March.

March 25th- Easter Family Home Evening Baskets

Each girl had 12  numbered plastic eggs, filled with items that went

along with a scripture from the Easter story in the New Testament.

We went over the lesson as we filled their baskets so they

 could teach their families the same lesson.

April 8th- Sign Language Lesson

Sister Palmer's mother was raised by deaf parents.

She came and taught the kids some basic sign language and

talked about people with disabilities and how they 

are like everyone else, but do things in a different way.

The girls divided into groups and performed puppet shows

depicting how we can treat others with disabilities.

April 22nd- Nail Care

Sister McFarlane's sister taught the girls about

how to properly care for their nails and then

painted their nails.

May 6th- Mother's Day Gift

The girls made flower arrangements for their moms.

They felt pretty accomplished and grown-up doing this!

May 20th- Gardening Lesson
Brother Patterson shared his gardening expertise

and awesome garden with us.  The girls were able to

plant some green beans and transfer tomato plants.
