Church schedule

Here's the church schedule we use-only it's not the actual binder because that one fell apart.



Instructions: Print/take pictures of various parts of sacrament meeting schedule (ie, hymnal, bread, water, speakers, bishop, prayer, choir). Print, cut and laminate. Cut the soft side of a velcro roll into small pieces, and apply to the back of each picture. Cut the "pokey" side of the velcro into strips and place INSIDE the binder (tip: putting it on the outside will leave your skirt with lots of pokes and snags in it). You'll probably need about 3 rows, depending on how big your pictures are. If I ever redo these, I'll probably try to make them 1.5 inches wide by 2 inches long-2x3 was a little big.

Before sacrament meeting, look at the program and put the pictures on as they coincide with the program. Then, as the program proceeds, the child can take off each event after it happens, and put the picture back in the bag.

This really worked well for about 2 months, and then Brig didn't need it anymore. He was 2 then, so it works VERY well from that age and up.

That looks amazing - so creative! And how great to not have to answer the 'how much longer' question every 5 minutes!!!

I love this! In all its PEC glory. Nice work, Megan. I've been wanting to make something very similar for FHE, so that Noah can follow the schedule without trying to avoid the prayers. Thanks for sharing!
