We Can Pray As a Family

Prayer Arm Puppets

Materials Used:

• craft sticks
• chenille stems
• coloring page faces (I used these)
• wire cutters

For our Active Faith to accompany this LDS Primary lesson, We Can Pray As a Family, as taught to 3 year olds, were inspired by, of all things, a monkey praying.  Okay, it was a craft that I found in an online search here.  I exchanged the monkey for a couple different styles of male and female heads, to represent a mother, father, sister, brother.  Before class I assembled the arms onto the sticks, and cut out the faces.  During class I asked the children to color their "family" of faces, and then taped the finished faces to the sticks.

As a bonus, our treat that day was pretzels, and I pointed out that pretzels look like folded arms.
