Paper bag Prayer Book

The Lesson this week in Sunbeams is 'I can pray to my Heavenly Father'. I've been racking my brain all week to come up with a fun idea for the kids. I think this book will achieve what I was hoping for. I want the kids this week to walk away with the knowledge of the format of a basic prayer and the idea that we can pray to our Father in Heaven about pretty much anything. Most of the kids in the class can't read yet so I used as many pictures as I could.

This project took me about an hour to do. It's pretty basic but with a few more things it could be a really cute little book. I have lots of cut outs and will most likely attach them with either yarn or magnets. This book I attached my pictures with magnets. The actual construction of the book is only 3 paper bags. I stacked them with opposite ends so I could have pockets in the book. I bound this book with sisal twine but you could use ribbon, sew it, binder hoops, or raffia.

In this book I have cut-outs of:

1. Things I am thankful for

- A living prophet

-My family

-Scriptures

-the priesthood

-temple

-pretty much anything else you can think of

2. Things I am praying for
-me

-dusty

-Ellie

-Lucy

-Our Leaders

-Our food

-Pretty much anything
