We've had a lot of you ask if we have any ideas to keep your kids interested {busy} during General Conference this weekend... so we've compiled a few ideas from around the blog world for you.
#1 - CONFERENCE TREAT BUCKETS - by Brown Paper Packages
Basically the idea is to get some buckets, label them with words you want your kids to listen for, and let them pick a treat when they hear that word spoken in one of the talks! Awesome, huh?
Don't have time or want to spend money on buckets and vinyl?
Use mason jars and print out words from your computer. (be cute & colorful to see the candies)
Have your kids help you color your labels and tape them on!
Also, my little ones can't read yet - so I will probably find pictures of the temple, the scriptures, etc. for our treat buckets! (If time permits, I will post the pictures I find so you can use them too!)
#2 - SET UP YOUR TENTS!
Just as the people gathered to hear King Benjamin...
Think of how much fun little ones would have listening to the Prophet in their very own tent.
Whether you make one out of blankets and chairs, or you have a real tent to set up -
Deck it out with pillows, notepads, snacks, etc. and let the kiddos play make believe!
#3- DOWNLOAD A CONFERENCE PACKET
