You Are An Important Piece Of The Puzzle

UPDATE (3/5/2017) You can now view and download the file for the puzzle gift tag. Scroll to the bottom of the post for the link!


This is a fun little gift tag/ handout I made inspired by this month's Visiting Teaching message (found here). I loved this quote by Sister Carole M. Stephen's:

" . . . We each belong to and are needed in the family of God."

This quote made me think of a puzzle, so I added a picture of some puzzle pieces and the words:

"You are an important PIECE of the PUZZLE!"

"Without YOU the Family of God is Not Complete!"


I found the puzzle piece ribbon at Walmart and used it to tie the tag to a bag of puzzle piece candy. I made the candy from vanilla almond bark mixed with some green, yellow, and blue food coloring and some red candy melts. I used this puzzle piece mold to shape the candy. I added some Rice Krispies cereal to the middle of the candy to give it a little crunch! My kids taste tested it for me and loved it!


I also thought it would be fun to attach the tag to a fun puzzle. Either one would be a cute little gift to give to the sisters you Visit Teach or anyone who you want to remind that they are important and loved!

The "Rolls" of the Holy Ghost Handout

UPDATE (3/5/2017) You can now view and download the file for the Tootsie Roll handout. Scroll to the bottom of the post for the link!

A couple of years ago I posted about the lesson I taught on The Roles of the Holy Ghost. You can find the details of my Tootsie Roll idea here. The post has been really popular and many, many people have asked for the PDF of the Tootsie Rolls to use for their lessons. Because I have received such a positive response to the idea, I decided to create a handout to go along with the lesson and here it is! You can use this handout if you want your students to remember the lesson even after the treat is gone!


The handout lists the "Rolls" of the Holy Ghost and is the perfect size to attach a Tootsie Roll snack bar!

I am currently working on adding my files to the blog so that they can be downloaded by my followers. In the meantime, if you would like a PDF of the handout, you can email me at addapinchofsparkle{at}gmail{dot}com

Enjoy!
