Susanne,
Thanks for the info. Where do you find it? I searched all over LDS.org and couldn't find what the manuals for next year would be.

Nov 24 2012 21:44:21 | Ameleah - Just A Reminder - Keep it simple
Just a reminder to all of us who work with children with special needs in our primaries. Keep things simple when doing bulletin boards and other visuals children will be exposed to. We all have wonderful ideas and I don't want to stifle them, I just feel we need to remember those who may be distressed when looking at a crowded bulletin boards & posters with a lot of patterns and distractions. Again thanks for all you do here and the talents you share!

Dec 05 2012 21:53:35 | Tanya - Simple idea
I love simple for all kids! I have a primary of 167 kids and simplicity equals less distraction. For the "I Am A Child of God" theme we decided to take a picture of every child and put their pictures underneath the heading," Who is a child of God? I am!"

Dec 05 2012 23:22:12 | Amanda - 2013 Song "If the Savior Stood Beside Me"

Feb 08 2013 16:54:42 | Kay Malinka
I am new in my calling as Primary president. I see in the handbook 2 nothing no section on primary activities other than the Activity days girls and scouts. I was under some understanding that we needed to plan a quarterly "extra" activity. I don't know where I got this thought. So we are not to do these "extra" activities? Thank you!
-
Jan 05 2013 22:18:27 | Tammy - Primary Activity Ideas
You can still do activities on the primary level, they are just not required anymore. Just look in the activities section 13 of the handbook.

Jan 04 2013 13:40:54 | BriannaK - Birthday Gift & Theme Gift Idea
We're making tiles for their Birthdays, but using the small 4x4 (really 4.25" x 4.25"
tiles (they were like 16 cents each). Using the Article of faith cards (the picture of Christ with the Children- pack of 50 cost $2.00) and a printed paper saying "I am a Child of God" we are modge podging up a storm. The total cost per tile was less than 25 cents each.Another idea we are using, a gift we want to give to everyone now is using that same image (from lds.org) which I shrunk down and put into a circle, added "Child of God" text and printed it with a lazer printer. Then, cutting out those circles, we're gluing it to a washer (modgepodge), then using a thicker glaze over the top, and lastly epoxey-ing a pin to the back so that the children have a little pin that says I am a Child of God. We used the 1.25" washers because they were what I happened to have on hand. For the teachers, instead of a pin, we're doing magnets. The total cost per pin is close...
