General Conference Bags - October 6, 2012

For General Conference this fall I was determined to have something fun and different for the boys so that just maybe we could actually listen to at least one of the talks. After searching on Pinterest for quite a while I finally found something that looked age appropriate and fun for them. I made 15 different bags with a different activity & treat for each one. When one of the 12 apostles or the first presidency got up to speak they had to find his picture and then they could open up that bag. It sort of worked, but half of the activities they didn't seem too incredibly interested in, but we did get to listen to most of the speakers so I feel that in and of itself was a HUGE success!! Some of the things I had in the bags were Popsicle stick puzzles (temple,   the prophet, Jesus, etc.), homemade peanut butter play dough with m&m's, lacing cards, prophets matching game, pretzel sticks and mini marshmallow building, pop corn in cute containers, puzzle, felt Mr. Potato Head and Pumpkins and a few other things.
