Keeping kiddos busy so the adults can listen is quite a challenge. All of these activities have been designed to be used during General Conference, whether you are watching via satellite at home, or in a chapel at your local church.
The Shepherd Memory Game and/or Nomenclature Cards
These cards can be used in several ways. Kiddos can match up cards, pictures, words, etc., or they can engage in a simple memory game. I'm hoping Sunshine will enjoy them.Source: I created the printable for this activity as part of my Easter Tot School Printable Pack I.

S is for Sheep
Sunshine will use the stamp and ink provided to fill in circles in the letter S. If stamps aren't available, one can use dot markers, stickers, glass beads, etc. The circles are large for little hands. This activity will be supervised at all times due to the small stamp being used (and the ink of course).Source: I created the printable for this activity as part of my Easter Tot School Printable Pack I.

Counting Sheep
Sunshine is still struggling with counting. She will count the sheep in each picture, clipping a clothes pin to the correct number. I'm guessing the clothespins themselves will keep her entertained for quite some time.Source: I created the printable for this activity as part of my Easter Tot School Printable Pack I.

Feed My Sheep
Sunshine learn about the foods sheep eat. She will then separate the food cards into two categories. Once the cards are separated, I'm hoping to engage her in some pretend play using the doll and the sheep with corresponding cards.Source: I created the printable for this activity as part of my Easter Tot School Printable Pack I.

The Staff
Sunshine will create a staff used by shepherds, stringing wooden beads onto a pipe cleaner. This activity will be supervised by an adult at all times, due to the small beads.
Marshmallow Sheep
Sunshine will use marshmallows to cover the body of the sheep, making it white and fluffy. When she appears done, she'll be offered some marshmallows as a special treat.Source: I created the printable for this activity as part of my Easter Tot School Printable Pack I.

Scattered Sheep
I love this simple activity! Sunshine will blow with all her might to scatter the "sheep." She will then use tweezers to go and find all of those that are lost, bringing them back to the "fold." I'm guessing Bulldozer will be a huge fan of this activity also. Depending on how strong your child blows, will determine how many sheep you want scattered. This is a very quiet activity for those who may be in church.
Lamb of God Puzzle
Sunshine will use the picture provided as help, to piece together the four piece puzzle. She already loves this picture! If she does the four piece puzzle with ease, I will print out another picture, cutting it into six pieces and so on.Source: The free printable picture used in this activity can be found at www.lds.org.
