Nursery Graduation Fun

Can't believe my oldest graduated from nursery and is moving on to Sunbeams...
Boy does time sure fly by...

This past Sunday we had a little "graduation" thing for the nursery kids that are moving on to Sunbeams. Nothing elaborate, we just had some little graduation-themed treats, and I also made some paper graduation caps, and at the end of nursery we gave them their graduation certificate for keepsakes.

For the treats, I looked at some ideas on the internet and kind of modified them based on what I had in my pantry.
I used rolos as the base of the "caps", then coated saltine crackers with melted chocolate for the top of the caps.
I cut little strips of airhead candy for the tassel and used mini M&Ms on top of the saltine crackers.
Everything was attached together with melting chocolate.

For the graduation caps i cut out strips of black paper the size of the head circumference and attached it to a square piece of black paper. I used red, yellow, and blue (colors of primary) for the tassel.

It sure was fun making these graduation treats and props :)

These will make great gifts for anyone with kids who loves crafting/sewing :)

This bundle comes with three children songs LDS quiet book patterns: "My Heavenly Father Loves Me", "Pioneer Children Sang as They Walked", and "The Prophet Said to Plant a Garden". All of these patterns were designed to highlight several phrases in the song to help the children learn the songs and the principles behind these songs in a fun and engaging way.

Sacrament Meeting LDS Quiet Book Pattern is Up

Woohoo...the long awaited moment has arrived.
I've been looking forward to this for a while now, and I'm so excited to share this new LDS quiet book pattern with you.

This pattern features four puppet figures that can be placed in various locations around the page such as the pulpit to give a talk/prayer/etc, on the stand, and sitting in the chapel benches.
The pattern also features bread and water trays and the page design it different that any of my other patterns so far, where this one has fold-able parts on the page to allow the trays to pop up when it is opened.
Check out the pattern at our LDS Quiet Book Pattern store.
