“I Hope They Call Me on a Mission ” Mini Quiet Book
By: Shiloah Baker
A mission is a big deal in our home. It does not matter if our son is only eight years old, we are teaching him the importance of going on a mission, marrying in the temple, and raising a righteous family. In the scripture Proverbs 22:6 it says, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
Because I want him to keep his focus on things of the future, I made this key ring book. The purpose of it is to remind him of the necessary steps to being worthy to go on a mission and I include the Twelve Articles of Faith for his memorization purposes.
Materials:
- Laminator (or laminating sheets)
- 2 8 1/2 x 11″ scrapbooking patterned papers (I used two that matched)
- large key ring (found in office supply sections)
- printed booklet on white cardstock (see below to download)
- 3 different kinds of matching fibers (several yards each) *
- Paper adhesive
- Regular office hole punch
- Download PDF patterns (Clipart from LDS Clipart CD)
*Note: Fibers are basically specialty yarns.
Directions:
- Cut out all pieces of the book. I left most of the articles of faith together in groups of three.
- Adhere the book pages onto scrapbooking papers of your choice.
- Laminate each book page
- Hole punch the top left hand part of each “page”.
- String on the key ring.
- Tie the top with coordinating fibers.
- Let your child take this to church for a nice quiet toy and great memorization piece!
