Thanksgiving Activities for Children From Hilltop Ward

At Hilltop's recent monthly activity,  placemats for the dinner were these cute pages of children's activities.  

Hilltop leaders suggested these coloring pages would be a great way to keep kids happy while meals were being prepared or while children were at the Thanksgiving table. 

Hilltop Ward printed them off of this website: http://www.familyfun.com/  Check out this great website for activity and coloring pages, crafts for children, fun family games, and recipes for children to make. 

There are ideas for other holidays too!

       

Ice Cream In a Bag

This is a recipe Hilltop Ward provided during a recent monthly

Relief Society meeting.

It's a fun activity to do with your children.

Ingredients:

1 Tablespoon sugar

1/2 cup milk or half and half

1/4 teaspoon vanilla

6 Tablespoons rock salt

Ice

You also need:

1-pint sized Ziploc plastic bag

1- gallon size Ziploc plastic bag

Fill the large Ziploc bag half full of ice, add rock salt, seal the bag and set aside.

Put milk, vanilla, and sugar into the smaller bag and seal. Shake to mix.

Place the small bag inside the large one, and seal it again carefully eliminating the extra air.

Shake until the mixture is ice cream, which takes 5-10 minutes.

You may want to wear gloves to keep hands warm.
Wipe the top of the small bag; open carefully.

Enjoy!
