Faith in God for Girls: Developing Talents

Make an item from wood, metal, fabric, or other material, or draw, paint, or sculpt a piece of art. Display your finished work for others to see.

Visit an art museum or attend a concert, play, or other cultural event. Share your experience with your family or activity day group.

At Our Activity: 
We visited a small local pioneer museum.  A volunteer there shared many pioneer experiences, local history, and other things so we learned about people who lived here many years ago.  The girls were also able to dress up in a long skirt and bonnet to lift the handle of a handcart, played some simple pioneer games the children would have enjoyed, and made small scrap dolls such as children would have had back then.

At Home: 
Teach a friend or family member the games we learned.  Share the doll made, or make more using scraps of yarn and fabric. Extend this activity by researching your family to see where your ancestors lived during this time, when the first family member joined the church, when family first moved to the area, etc:
