Here is a quick heads up for some things you might

Here is a quick heads up for some things you might want to add to your grocery order for the 1800 activity next week.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Your children will be learning about 1800 log homes - the kind that the Whitmers and the Smiths lived in. They will learn about how the homes were built and the basic components of these homes.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
For a fun activity your children can build their own log home using pretzel rods, frosting, graham crackers, cereal, etc. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Here are a few fun ideas:⁠⁠
⁠⁠
- They can build a roof or leave the roof off and design the inside with a fireplace, table, chairs, etc. They can make their own or use doll furniture you might have.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
- You could get some chocolate candy rocks (Amazon has some), and they could build a fireplace or chimney with them. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
- If they design the inside, they could try to build a loft with a ladder, which is where children often slept. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
- Show some episodes of "Little House on the Prairie" and have your children specifically look at how the log home was designed.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
GROCERY ITEMS you may want:⁠⁠
⁠⁠
- Pretzel rods (for the logs)⁠⁠
- Pretzel sticks (the straight but small pretzels that can be used to make a door, frame a window, make furniture)⁠⁠
- Frosting⁠⁠
- Cereal for roof (if you make a roof)⁠⁠
- Graham crackers (to make doors, windows, furniture - think of it like edible plywood)⁠⁠
- Rock candy⁠⁠
- Whatever else you want!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Have fun learning about (and making) log homes next week!⁠⁠

Here are a few things I would suggest not to miss

Here are a few things I would suggest not to miss this week...⁠💛
⁠⁠
PIC 1:⁠⁠
The video activity about the printing of the Book of Mormon. My family LOVED this - and in my daughter's words, "I didn't realize it was so complicated." And then the realization of what it meant for Joseph to have FIVE THOUSAND copies made. And then the realization that the Nephite prophet's words were finally printed... It was one of our favorite lessons.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
PIC 2:⁠⁠
The "Old Maid" game with people, places, and things we have covered so far this year. I know a lot of you have laminated them so you can use them throughout the year - I plan on doing that too! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Also - one thing I have learned is to leave the cards out and challenge the kids to come up with their own games. Kids are so creative and can add their own magic to everything.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
PIC 3:⁠⁠
Always, always, always the study pages. They are the most important part of the kit. They help you learn (and love) the scriptures and the church history stories happening - so you can then know what you want to teach your families. That is why our activity kits are so full - so that you have lots of options to choose from. ⁠⁠

I am always learning so much from how you use these kits! I truly stand in awe of so many mothers here.

I am so excited for this week! As our families st

I am so excited for this week! As our families study sections 18 and 19, they get to learn about the unfolding restoration and the printing of the Book of Mormon. The story of the publication of the Book of Mormon is FULL of really wonderful lessons that build faith and discipleship - and it is a fun story to learn about!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
PIC 2 - STUDY PAGES⁠⁠
*We always say that the study pages are the most important part of our kits. They help you become the expert on the story so that you can know what your family needs the most. The historical background to every section is explained as well as insight into each verse. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
PICS 3-5 - THE PRINTING OF THE BOOK OF MORMON⁠⁠
*Your children will learn all about how the printing press was used and watch a video of the Book of Mormon being printed on the printing press. Then the 1800 activity this week is your children learning to stamp words upside down and backwards just like on the printing press. You will want to order either some alphabet stamps or cookie letter stamps. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
PIC 6 - ILLUSTRATED STORIES⁠⁠
*Everything we add to our kits are scripture-centered, and these illustrated stories are included every week. They teach the background (church history) and the main points to every section. These are for ages 3 to 11.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
PICS 7-8 - SCRIPTURE STUDY AND MARKING GUIDE FOR KIDS⁠⁠
*The scripture marking guide this week will help your children learn how the worth of souls is great in the sight of God! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
PIC 9 - FAMILY GAME⁠⁠
*Did you know that Old Maid is an old victorian game? This week we included a spin off of Old Maid and made cards with church history illustrations your family has already learned about! Instead of an “old maid” card, there is a mob card! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
PIC 10 - Quiz for Teens⁠⁠
*There are a lot of things for your teens including scripture stickers, study activities, and this quiz!⁠⁠
