Making Felties

Some of the coloring pages can be made into what I call "felties".  Basically just the things that stick to felt boards.  In case you don't know how to do that, here's how!

1. First, print out the picture and color (Or have your kids color)
2. Cut out the individual pictures
3. Laminate or cover both sides with clear contact paper
4. Using a glue stick, cover the backs with glue
5. Rub on dryer lint
6. Let glue dry and voila, it sticks to felt

You can also put magnets on the back after you've laminated them and well, make magnets.  I like to use the free ones businesses give out.  Sad but true ;) Enjoy!

    this is the coolest idea and I can't believe I've never heard of making them this way!! I bought the kids a flannel board like a year ago and we hardly use it because buying felt story/play pieces for it costs a small fortune. Thanks!

Book of Mormon Spot It

Image
For Christmas, we received the game Spot It.  We have not stopped playing it. It's basically a matching game,  but...more fun. So, I decided I'd give a shot at making a Book of Mormon Spot It game . The way you play is this: Each player gets a card. You flip one card from the main deck into the middle, and you try to find the picture on that card that matches yours. When you find it, you yell out the name of the picture and add that card to your pile. The first person to find their match, wins the card. Flip over another card from the deck into the middle and continue until you've used all the cards. Whoever has the most cards at the end wins! Here is a "Glossary" so you know what each of the pictures is actually supposed to be. They each correspond with a scripture.  You can download a PDF of the game here . Enjoy! P.S. Want another Book of Mormon game to play? Check out  Book of Mormon Swap Blocks  too!

Book of Mormon Swap Blocks

Image
Taking some inspiration from these super cute olliblocks ,  I made some Book of Mormon Swap blocks! You can print these out and glue them to one inch blocks, but since I want to use these in Sacrament Meeting and not be super loud, I turned them into magnets! First, download the swap blocks  here . Then just print, cut, stick to 1" magnetic tape, and cut again. Then, to make these super portable, and as well as have a surface to play on, (You know, if you actually get to sacrament and don't sit on a metal chair ) I put them all in a cute little altoids tin. Voila!  Enjoy!

Ice Cream Letters

I scream! You scream! We all scream for...the alphabet?  These can be felties, magnets, or just plain paper.  It's pretty simple.  Cut out the ice cream and the cones, bust out your crayons, color and match the upper case with the lower case.  Enjoy!
