#4 EXTRA Fun! TONS MORE FUN! (these activities are in the Sunbeam; but great for nursery)
Teaching nursery children the “Behold Your Little Ones” lessons at CHURCH or HOME just got easier with our award-winning NURSERY ACTIVITIES.
Our Primary Partners and later Sunday Savers Nursery and Sunbeam books and CD-ROMs were bestsellers, along with our 158 other books in our series of lesson-match activities (to make learning fun). The activities are now available here, on Gospel Grab Bag.
The Primary nursery can be a place where age 2 children can gain self-worth as they grow to love Jesus. Here, they can learn to play, pray, sing, and enjoy lesson activities that can build faith and confidence. Sheidan R. Sheffield wrote in the Church News: “Nursery: a time to teach, not just tend” that “The nursery program, for children 18 months to 3 years old, is set up to provide a safe, organized environment where these young children can learn about Heavenly Father and have a happy Church experience.”
Here is an example of how they learn in this video of two Sunbeam age 3 children who where able to memorize the 13th Article of Faith.

Children love to be the ones to bring a treat to their class, especially if it is in the OFFICIAL TREAT BUCKET.

HINTS ABOUT ACTIVITIES:
#1 Printing. With two choices of activities for each lesson:
- The HOME ACTIVITY poster or coloring pages are ideal for younger children as parents can discuss with the child what they learned.
- The CRAFTS are great to challenge older children. One child said, “What fun are we going to have this week teacher?”
The CRAFTS & COLORING PAGES are great teaching tools and a great way for the child to remember the lessons.
#2 Memorable Photos. Teachers, parents, and grandparents can take pictures of the children holding their CRAFT or COLORING PAGE. This makes it easy to scrapbook and remember lessons taught.
#3 Cardstock and Laminating. The CRAFT activities can be printed on cardstock for durability. For smaller children, you may want to make these ahead of time. Or, you could laminate. For Example. One child loved his temple tie from the lesson (HERE) where his mother said he wore it every day, and then back to nursery. The teacher said, “If I knew he was going to like it so much, I would have laminated it,” seeing it wrinkled.

Hi can the nursery sunday savers be purchased as a downloadable file as I am in Australia and shipping alone is 92.00 US dollars which is excessive.

If you are looking for that little extra something in your lesson each week, then buy this CD ROM. It is absolutely fabulous. 3 year old children fresh from the nursery go through such an amazing transformation their first year in Primary. Coming from a playtime environment with snacks and treats to a more structured, learning environment with spiritual stimulation allows you as the teacher to witness their growth right before your eyes.
The activities on this CD ROM not only get their attention but help them retain what you (by the Spirit) are teaching them. Parents will enjoy the fact that they can use the activities you send home to re-enforce gospel principles throughout the week. They are great for Family Home Evening and just about anytime you want to invite the Spirit into your home.
You can print them in black and white, or color. Letting the children color their own activity is very engaging, but for the lessons that can foster a bigger impact both during class and at home, print them in color. I prefer to laminate those activities so they can be used over and over again.
A few of my favorites are:
Lesson 4 I can Pray to my Heavenly Father – the activity is of Daniel in the Lions Den – lamenated with detachable Daniel and Lions via velcro coins makes this a forever keepsake activity for the children you teach. They will enjoy retelling the story with their very own visual aid.
Lesson 16 I love my body – this activity includes the face of Daniel, mouth slit open, which allows for paper food to slide in like he is eating. Printing in color and on cardstock makes the food easy to put in his mouth.
Lesson 24 I love my brothers and sisters – this activity of the baby Moses scene lets the children tell the story of how baby Moses was put in a basket and how his sister followed him on his was to Pharohs wife.
Lesson 31 I am thankful for my home – activity is the picture of a jar on a piece of paper with tasks (jobs) the children can complete at home. This one is one of my all time favorites!
You will see as the year goes by, there will be no need for a food distraction when the children are being taught lessons outlined by the church coupled with activities to reinforce what is being taught.
Thank you ladies for your creativity that allows me to help teach choice spirits of our Heavenly Father!
I purchased this and love it! The only problem is we purchased a new Apple and no longer have a dvd rom. Any suggestion? I haveMany of your primary Cd,s and would love to acces them from home.
We have a MAC also and can print from the MAC. It reads on the latest CD-ROMS: WINDOWS/MAC CD-ROM. If you have an older version perhaps you could take it to a copy / print shop and they can print them for you. You can also contact our publisher for this 1-800-664-9545.
I was wondering if they have the same activities in SPANISH? I would lile to have both versions 🙂
Most of the activities can be made in Spanish. See our Language Translations section under Customer Care for details.
