Seek and Ye Shall Find Bottles
Idea by Lorena Brown
 



I put this together for a Stake Primary Board Meeting so the activity leaders can take this back to their girls to do.  I've listed below where I got each of the supplies. The best bottles to use are the Gatorade individual size - 20 oz, cleaned, of course. Layer these objects with wild birdseed - the kind with the black sunflowers in the mix. Leave about an inch from the opening for space. Squeeze hot glue onto the threads on the lid and twist onto the filled bottle. Believe me! It isn't going to open again!!!!!!! I printed the scripture reference and the items on cardstock and laminated the cards to place with a ribbon around the neck of the bottle. You can delete everything after the parenthesized item. This project can nickel and dime you. If you can do this with another group, it's the best to make this go a long way. OR, look up your own scriptures and find symbols that correlate with items that are readily available around your house. It's addicting to try and find all the items in the bottle. It's really quite fun!!!
