Mother's Day
I got all these ideas from dltk-holidays.com.
 
If you want to know how to make the flower you can go to http://www.dltk-holidays.com/valentines/mvflower.html for instructions.
 
The card folds so the poem goes in the center, then have the children glue the heart flower together on to the front of the card and color.

Lesson 8  
Lesson 9   
Lesson 10  
Lesson 11 11 – I Am Thankful for Fish
Lesson 12

I made the chicken and put her in a construction paper nest.  Then put all the baby chicks under her wing.  When we go in to closing exercises the children get their chick and sit on it to keep it warm.  Then when we go back to the classroom after primary to pick up their papers, crafts, etc., they put the chick back under the mother hen's wing.  This helps them stay in their seats.

I then glued to rolls, and punched holes and put yarn to make binoculars.

I AM THANKFUL
Lesson 20 Slide 1
Lesson 21 
I tried to send the smiley/frowny picture that I scanned in and then made small enough to put 4 on a page in word, but it was so large, it would never go through, so here are the instructions of what I did.
 
I took a regular sized cheap paper plate and had the children glue a quarter size smiley/frowny face in the middle.  I then had them glue "If you chance to meet a frown, do not let it stay, quickly turn in upside down" on the upper left side, kitty corner above the frowny face.  Then you turn the face upside down and glue "and smile that frown away" to the upper left corner.  Then turn back over and on the upper right side of the frowny side "no one likes a frowny face, change it for a smile".  Then turn over to smiley and upper right, "make the world a better place by smiling all the while.
 
Lesson 22

I used the picture from http://www.youngzones.org/nursery/Lesson22.html to go with with lesson.  We are also doing the Father's Day cards.

FATHER'S DAY CARD

I took the ideas from http://www.dltk-holidays.com/dad/cards.html.

It scanned in a little crooked, but that's all right since it will be cut out anyway.

Lesson 24 - Moses in Basket Craft.zip
Lesson 25

esson 25 - Love At Home Handout.zip
Lesson 26

I copied the handout at the end of the lesson and then got clipart of our local temple.  Then cut out all the pieces and have the children glue the temple in the middle of a piece of construction paper and glue all the circles around.

 
Lesson 27 Sunbeams/Lesson 27 - Prayer Coloring Page.doc
Lesson 28

If you use this or any other copy from the internet, the words are not clear.  If you try to enlarge to a full page size it gets worse.  This comes from page 37 of the Friend, September 1997.  I think instead of having it be a triangle, like it says in the Friend, I will cut out all the pieces and have the children glue on to colored construction paper.   I am going to just copy it from the Friend itself so it will be full size and readable.  If you need to use a copy from the internet or this one, you can cut off the words and just write them.

Sunbeams/Lesson 28 - What does Jesus Want Me To Do Coloring Page.doc
Lesson 29 

This came from a 1987 Friend. 

There are 3 ways I can do this.  Either cut each piece out and  have the children glue on to a construction paper booklet, or just cut on the lines, punch holes in the top and tie with yard, or cut on line and cut in half horizontally and punch holes and tie with yard.  Then have kids color.  Mine tend to either want to color or glue.

I May Be Small But My Helping Hands Can Help At Home
Lesson 32  
Lesson 33  
Lesson 34  
Lesson 35  
Lesson 36
I didn't use these as a puzzle.  I cut out the candle and glued it in the middle of a yellow sheet of paper, I then cut out around the other pictures and had the children glue them on to their papers.  Before we did this craft, we fished for examples of the pictures and discussed them.

 

Lesson 36 Handout Let Your Light Shine Puzzle.doc
Lesson 37

I cut these out and will have the children draw themselves a train track across the bottom of a half sheet of construction paper cut horizontally.  Then they will glue their train on.

Lesson 37 Handout Honesty Train.doc
Lesson 38
Instead of making the cup music makers, I got an idea on the internet and used.  I took one of the cheap white paper plates and folded it in half, I stapled several strips of crepe paper (had some left over from my daugher's rainbow party, so had all colors of the rainbow) stacked on top of each other on each side near the fold.  I put in beans, then stapled at the top, then used packing tape to close it up and cover the staples.  I then supplied colored pencils and stars for them to decorate with.
 
We had to go out in the area we have between the outside door and the inner door, kind of a buffer zone for the children to use them because they are so noisy and we are right next to the primary room and another class, only curtains separating us.  But they loved them.
