Toddler Busy Bag Exchange: Religious Edition

One thing I am grateful for in my life is a group of friends who share a common interest in raising our children to know Christ and the Gospel.  We also share the common interest of getting our small children to sit down and be quiet during church! These commonalities led us to our toddler busy bag exchange: religious edition.  You can see our non-religious related busy bag exchanges here and here!  Be sure to check them out for ideas to keep your little ones busy.

Jess printed pages of different modern day Prophets and Apostles with a giant letter of their last name to help kids with their ABC's, letter sounds and to learn the names of the Prophets.  The kids can decorate each page with all the stickers she included.


Anjela, like so many of us, had a hard time figuring out what to do for a religious busy bag that was in our skill set, affordable or that didn't require a printer so she made us the best long-lasting play-dough with the recipe.


I'm posting this blog too soon because this little photo album is about to become an ABC book using words about the Gospel.  Cami is making us digital files of all the pages including pictures of our own children so once we send her photos of our kids, she will include them in the file and then we can print them off and fill this little photo book.


Kristy made this magnetic puzzle on an adorable tray that can unintentionally double for tea parties. ;)


Mel made this flip book all about Christ and the purpose of the Sacrament and Atonement.  We can show it to the kids during the passing of the bread and water to help them understand why we take it. Here's the link to the printable.


Selena made a matching/memory game with these pictures of prayer, baptism, CTR (choose the right), etc.


I made the "Jesus Loves You" file folder game found here.  Kids get to match the cards of children from all around the world with the matching picture in the folder.



Did some of the vocabulary in this blogpost throw you for a loop?  Prophet, Sacrament, Atonement perhaps?  You can click this "I'm a Mormon" link here or it's always on my blog's homepage to learn more!
