Decorating a Primary Room

As far as decorating goes, I don’t know how you have figured it out in your buildings, but if you share a building with other wards, you will want to coordinate with the other presidencies so that you have a uniform and pleasing look. It turns out that the building that we meet in has three wards and it is the responsibility of the early ward to decorate for the year. Guess what….we are the early ward! The problem is choosing from the many items available to help you get the job done. My councilor and secretary are doing the decorating (they love that sort of thing) and they will incorporate the 2011 Primary Theme 13-Poster Pack (color), the 2011 Primary Monthly Scripture Teaching 13-Poster Pack (B&W) Oversize and two set of Article of Faith Posters. Since the process isn’t complete (First Sunday of January we just kind of tacked things up there), we will see what else we may want to use from the available products.

2011 "I Know the Scriptures Are True" Border
I’ll keep you updated with perhaps even a photo of the completed room.

Primary Birthdays

So….birthdays for Primary children. My presidency decided to change it up a bit with a new year and all. We like the 2011 Gift Kit. This includes a wristband, bookmark and pencil with the 2011 Primary Theme: I Know the Scriptures Are True.
If that is more than you want, you could go with any one of these individually. Bookmark, Pencil, Wristband.
Keep in mind the varying sizes to match the size of your kids. We have Sunbeam, Jr. Primary, Senior Primary and Adult sizes. It's nice to have something for the children that reinforces what they are learning.

As I am sure with many of you, 2011 came fast and now I am busy planning for the year! As a brand new Primary President, I found that I had some immediate needs. Other than the normal “I never realized how much a Primary President” did factor, our presidency (we started on the first Sunday of January) had Birthdays to recognize and a room to decorate. So, this is where I am starting this years’ blog. Of course, you can always visit the main website for ideas if you are serving in other organizations, and I will address some of those ideas in upcoming blog posts. This year, I am leaving my comfort zone and will make this blog a little more personal. In the past I mainly featured products that will help you in your church auxiliary calling or in teaching your families. While I’ll still be featuring products to help you, I am going to mix in some of my experiences. I prefer to stay behind the mask of a blog/product, but if you are anything like me, you like to get ideas and hear what someone else may be experiencing. As an important part of this blog, I welcome your ideas. You have a wealth of experience that can be shared with others worldwide (yes, we have customers all over the world) and we want to know what you do and how you do it. So, feel free to comment…just keep it positive and family friendly!
