Toddler General Conference Activities – Blocks and a Basket
This fun and simple activity only takes two things: 1-wooden alphabet blocks, and 2-a container to fit them in. Smiley Man loves playing with our wooden blocks, but for some reason I don’t get them out very often. That will make them extra special for General Conference. I am adding a container to use with the blocks, just so Smiley Man can put the blocks in it and then dump them out again. A favorite for all toddlers. :)
Preschool General Conference Activities – Shower Curtain Car Town
I don’t know about you, but my kids have a huge assortment of toy cars. They just can’t get enough of them. I should also mention that Smiley Man started making sound effects with a car long before he ever tried saying a word. I guess it’s a boy thing. :) Since my boys love their cars so much, I was looking for new ways that they could play with them. I found this AMAZING idea for a shower curtain play mat from allmylittlegems.com. I decided to make a car town play mat just for General Conference and then my kids could continue to enjoy it after Conference.
I used a can of cooking spray and taped a sharpie marker on either side of it to draw the roads. That made it so all the roads were the same size. Also, I drew everything on the mat, including the roads and outlines of buildings using a black sharpie. I used crayons to color inside the buildings and the crayons colored nicely on the shower curtain. I drew a church, a temple, (it is for General Conference after all), a school, a park, a grocery store, an arcade, a zoo, a police station, a library, and several houses. I also added in some stop signs, trees, etc. to liven it up a bit.
The shower curtain does move around a bit while my boys play on it. To fix this problem, I usually tape some of the sides down using masking tape or packing tape.
