Mini Scriptures

I teach a primary class of young kids for my church. A few weeks ago we had a lesson about the prophet Joseph Smith translating the gold plates into the Book of Mormon. For a cute handout I found this miniature scripture idea for the kids to take home.

My philosophy is that I get ideas for other people and then figure out how to do it on my own so that it is somewhat my own. I'll tell you how I did it.

What you will need. 

tape

glue stick

card stock

"Hershey's Treasures" candy

ribbon

print out of your scripture.

Cut the card stock so that it fits both chocolate pieces and tape them down on the paper. I think it was about 2 1/2 X 1 1/2. I'm not positive though. (I made them a while ago).

Use the glue stick to glue the small piece of ribbon to the chocolates. It should stay pretty tight but if not it's ok because you'll put your scripture on top.

Print out your scripture in a very small font into two narrow columns. You may have to work around with the document to make it work. I chose the scripture Doctrine and Covenants 3:19. Because that is where we learn that the plates of old were meant for us to read and study now.

Stick the scripture on with the glue stick and you're done. 

Not including the time I spent fiddling with the word document, this project took about an hour. Next time I do this it will be for kids who are a bit older that will appreciate the thought instead of just devouring the candy as soon as they saw it.
