MODESTY

Our activity today was about being modest. We talked about what it means to be modest and how we are to dress our bodies.

I got the lesson from lds.about.com. The article is titled "Modesty - More Than Just a Standard".

After our lesson the girls got to dress some paper dolls in modest attire. Their clothes were all made out of candy. The girls had a great time and were so creative...

Zoe loves being a part of the Activity Day group. She will have all the requirements met for her Faith in God award before she's even old enough to officially be in Activity Days.

All the finished works of art...

You Are Special

We started this activity with Sister Prete reading the book "You Are Special" by Max Lucado. While the story was being read I walked around the room putting black circles and star stickers on the girls.

At the end of the story I started taking the stickers off the girls when we learned that the character Lucia doesn't have stickers on her because she only cares about what her maker thinks of her and not what others think of her.

After the story we had the girls decorate cupcakes and then talked about how even though we all used the same ingredients all of our cupcakes turned out different. Just like all of us are made of the same stuff we are all different and unique. The only opinion that truly matters is what our creator thinks of us. Our Heavenly Father loves each of us individually because we are his children! All the girls were so excited to have Sister Prete be a part of our Activity today. Thank you so much for your help with our fun activity!!
