Primary Post


I teach the Sunbeams in our Ward's Primary. The kids are so cute and say the funniest things! Today our lesson was "I Am Thankful For My Eyes" so I decided to make a coloring page and an "I Spy Bottle". They turned out pretty cute and were very fun to make. Gary helped me and they went pretty fast. I just used rice from our food storage, Gary's empty Dr. Pepper bottles, a few things from around the house, and then bought a few more things from the dollar store. Gary filled the bottles about 1/2 full of rice and then I put (shoved) the trinkets in. Then Gary finished filling the bottles with rice, leaving about 2 inches empty at the top. I hot glued around the top of the bottles and then screwed the lid on. Then I hot glued around the bottom of the cap. I put a smiley face sticker on the top of the lid and put some glue "stuff" on top of it so it made it look 3D and also so it wouldn't come off. I tied on some ribbon and added an "I Spy With My Little Eye" card to it. The kids LOVED them!

They were adorable. Thanks for the great job you do. It makes my heart happy to send Abbie into your class. As a side note, did you hear the fun shaking rice during sacrament? Loved it!
