It would be a perfect world for my small children to sit quietly and still for 8 hours during LDS General conference. (luckily it is broken down to 2 hour increments) :)
But since I have an 8 year old, a 5 year old, and a wild 3 year old, that is not realistic. So, as most LDS moms do, we find puzzles or games to occupy the children so we can at least HEAR the words of the church leaders. Here are some of the things we did today:
We cut and glued the 1st presidency and 12 apostles pics to paper, and will color their ties in!
Kaylee really liked that!
Since the General Authorities are in red chairs... we found this activity at "Copy That", a cute little copy shop by Hobby Lobby in American fork. We use it every session of conference.
Konnor colored this awesome Salt Lake Temple! It is now on display by the tv.

This conference packet of 15 pages of FUN activities for all ages!
Got this for $1 at Copy That! Love that little shop!

King Benjamin asked the people to turn the tents toward the temple and harken unto the words of the Lord. So... we made a HUGE fort or shall we say, "Tent". The kids slept in it last night and will most likely beg to sleep in it again!
During intermission, I drew pics of the General authorities and the kids had to guess which one it was! Fun! My drawing skills are a little struggles, but at least my kids can figure it out. ha ha.

I need to go to that store to find those fun things! What a good mom you are! And you are a great artist! While we were watching conference, when they mentioned President Monson, Damon exclaimed, "They said Monson!!" thinking they were talking about his little brother.
i wish i had been as smart as you when my kids were little! excellent ideas. :)
