Jeppesen Family: Super Saturday Enrichment Ideas

Super Saturday Enrichment Ideas

I have been crazy the past couple of weeks trying to come up with ideas for our Super Saturday. This is what I've come up with. I would love to hear your honest opinion and comments! For the Snowmen Kits, we are collecting Baby Formula Scoops for the pipes. If you have any you want to donate, let me know! Sorry, these items are only available to the lucky girls in my ward. (Or unlucky depending on if they like them or not) But if you want any info as to where to get some of the items, leave me a comment and I will try to get back to you.

A lot of people have asked so here are the Printable Muffin #s. This is the Link where I got the idea.
I printed the #s on cardstock and used a big circle punch to punch them out. There's a video and then instructions on the link. Basically you cut out twenty four 2 1/4" squares out of cardstock and then use a corner rounder. They did circles and squares, I simplified to just squares. Then you glue the # circle on top and add a couple strips of adhesive magnet on the back. (Comes in the roll at Walmart). Then you can embellish as much or little as you want. We found the muffin tins at Walmart for 4.99.

Muffin Tin Numbers

Here is the Personalized Menu Form. Print this off and add the personalization. Then put it inside a 8.5x11 plexi glass magnetic frame at Walmart. They are $3 in the frame section. Add a dry erase marker with some sticky velcro and some ribbon. It is helpful to put a glue dot on the frame bottom edge to hold the paper inside tight.

Tim and Clarissa said...: This is so awesome! I was seriously just about to email you and ask if you had any good ideas for super saturday. I am in charge of it in my ward and need some good "fresh" ideas! Could you tell me more about the advent calendar? What are the colored squares made out of? Are the circles glued on? Are the numbers printed on paper? Are the squares magnetic? If you could just explain I would be so grateful! I would love to do that in our ward too!

Thanks

amyburb said...: Hi there--I just found your blog from a search and love your ideas. I am in charge of a SS and am wondering if you have a great system for taking orders or have a time schedule print-out that you do. This part is the hardest for me! Thanks so much!; October 3, 2009 at 11:05 PM
Unknown said...: Hi Tami! You don't know me, my name is Jamie Hendricks. I know your husbands family. Chelsea actually took our pictures not too long ago!

I am the enrichment leader in my ward in Perry. I was hoping you could help me with the muffin tin project. Maybe give me some tips on what the easiest way to do it is.

Also, I am in need of some vinyl for another project. If you go to sistersstuff.blogspot.com and then click on the super saturday ideas label you'll see a pizza countdown. Could you give me a price on how much that vinyl would be, if not that exact something similar! Wow, that was long, sorry I didn't see an email address. I would love to post your muffin tin on my blog if that would be ok. I will link back to you! Please let me know!

Thanks Jamie

doni said...: The other day I was visiting Cordie's blog and I had a spare min. to scan her sidebar (which I never have time to do.) I clicked here and I am glad I did. I am the Enrichment councelor in my ward and we have a Christmas Craft activity the 1st of Nov. We are also in the process of finding a new Enrichment leader so I have been quickly trying to find some things on my own. Anyway, thanks for sharing I might have to use a few of these.; October 7, 2009 at 9:56 AM

Chaundell said...: I love that snowman kit. Where did you get the items in your kit? I would love to do that as christmas gifts this year!; September 9, 2011 at 12:22 PM
Tami said...: Snowman Kit Supplies:
We got the hats and carrots from OrientalTrading.Com. Not sure if they still sell them. You can also make your carrots out of wood.
The scarves are a piece of fleece cut
The eyes are briquettes
The mouth and buttons are are buttons I ordered in bulk off of ebay
The pipes are formula scoops spray painted black.

They were really fun to make. Still my favorite neighbor gift to give. Good luck.; September 9, 2011 at 12:30 PM
Amy said...: Can I just say you are so creative and I love seeing all your cute Super Saturday ideas!! I was wondering if there was somewhere I could order the vinyl for the 12x12 tile. We aren't allowed to have Super Saturdays anymore in our ward so now I am on my own in trying to get inexpensive Christmas gifts. Hopefully one year they will listen to all the sisters complaining and change their minds.
Thanks!

Our Religion

We belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. One of our apostles, M. Russell Ballard, described our beliefs best in his Oct. '07 Conference Address. (If you want to post this to your blog, feel free to copy and paste) Facts * • First, “Mormon” is a nickname for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Members are often referred to as “Mormons,” “Latter-day Saints,” or “LDS.” The term “Saint” means “member.” * • Second, the Church was restored in 1830 in upstate New York with Joseph Smith as its first prophet and president. Today it is headquartered in Salt Lake City, with President Thomas S. Monson as the present prophet. * • Third, there are now over 13 million members in 176 countries and territories. About 6 million of these are in the United States, making us the fourth largest Christian denomination in America. As one of the fastest growing Christian faiths in the world, we complete a new chapel every working day. Members pay a tithe, which is 10 percent of their income, making this and other programs possible. * • Fourth, local congregations are led by volunteer, unpaid members. Both men and women serve in assigned leadership positions. * • And fifth, Mormons are well represented in politics and government. (In the United States, for example, there are 16 members in Congress, from both political parties.) Members also serve in high and trusted positions throughout the world in business, medicine, law, education, media, sports, and entertainment. Faith Next, people need to know something of our faith as committed Christians with strong traditional values. Along with the Articles of Faith we need to emphasize that: * • We believe in the eternity of the soul, that God is the Father of our spirits, and that we can return to Him after death. * • We believe that Jesus Christ is our personal Savior, and we try to model our lives after Him and His teachings. We commemorate Christ’s atoning sacrifice in our Sunday worship services, similar to taking communion in other churches. We accept as fellow Christians all who believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God and the Savior of all mankind. Many Christians do not understand that we have much common ground with them. Joseph Smith taught that Jesus Christ is the core of our belief, and everything else is an appendage to it (see Elders’ Journal, July 1838, 44). The name of the Church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. * • We believe the original church that Jesus established was lost and has been restored again in our day. The priesthood, the authority given to man to act in the name of God, with apostles and a prophet to lead us, has been restored as have all necessary ordinances of salvation. * • We believe in and we use the Holy Bible, both the Old and New Testaments. * • And we believe in the Book of Mormon and other books of scripture which support and authenticate the Bible and testify of the ministry and divinity of Christ and of God’s ongoing revelation to man. Indeed, the Book of Mormon is “Another Testament of Jesus Christ.” Family The next thing it is good for people to know is how family-centered our theology and our lifestyles are. Once again, simple statements are helpful to someone who is uninformed but curious about the importance we place on families. * • Mormons place particularly strong emphasis on family as the basic unit of the Church and of society. We have a deep commitment to marriage (defined as a union between one man and one woman). Polygamy, a limited practice in the early pioneer days of the Church, was discontinued in 1890, some 117 years ago. * • Families and individuals, whether members of our faith or not, can attend Sunday services in our chapels. Here we worship together, instructing one another from the scriptures. * • Latter-day Saint families are encouraged to hold family home evenings weekly, usually on Monday nights. This provides a regular and predictable time for parents to teach values to their children and to have fun together. We invite those not of our faith to adopt this practice with their own families. * • The Church has auxiliary programs for women, youth, and children as a support to the family. These programs provide such things as religious instruction, opportunities for Christian service, sports, drama, music, and Scouting. * • And there is also much focus on extended family, genealogy, and personal family history, providing young and old with a stronger sense of roots, identity, and belonging. The highest and most sacred ordinances of our faith relate to our families, both living and dead, and some of these ordinances take place in our temples. Fruits Now, even as someone begins to understand a few facts about us and comes to know us more accurately by our faith and the importance of family, it was the Savior who said “by their fruits ye shall know them” (Matthew 7:20; emphasis added). A church, or any way of life, should be judged by the fruits or the results that it generates. Here are a few examples based on United States statistics. But these would be similar throughout the world among practicing Mormons (by which we mean those who attend church and the temple regularly): * • One of the fruits is a longer life. Studies show that practicing Mormons are healthier and therefore live longer than the national average. In 1833 the Lord revealed to Joseph Smith the Word of Wisdom, which is the way to live in order to enjoy a long and healthy life. * • Second, those who are married in and attend the temple regularly have a divorce rate far below the national and world average. * • Third, we achieve an educational level that is higher than the national average. * • Fourth, over 70,000 members volunteer at their own expense to serve for 18 to 24 months in humanitarian efforts, Church service assignments, and full-time missionary service throughout the world. * • And fifth, we place strong emphasis on self-reliance and a solid work ethic. We encourage active involvement in our communities and in providing service to others. The Church continues to donate substantial money, goods, and services to humanitarian causes around the globe, including untold hours of labor donated by members to assist in disaster cleanup and relief.
