I was asked recently if I could handle doing singing time in nursery as well as primary, and I said "Heck Yes!" In fact, my old ward did this so I was expecting it, so when I mentioned it maybe someone thought it would be a good idea. I think so. Nursery singing time is so much fun!
To help myself out, especially with going straight into nursery from singing time in Senior Primary, I got on pinterest of course and looked for ideas. The one that I liked the most that was on a number of boards was to create a nursery container and have numerous props for a rotation of songs. Loved the way this would simplify so I immediately started putting one together.
Here are the contents of mine:
1) Sunbeam necklaces - Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam, I am Like a Star
2) Missionary tags (clothpins) - I Want to Be a Missionary Now, I Hope They Call Me on a Mission
3) Bell bracelets - Do As I'm Doing, My Hands
4) Flashlight - Teach Me to Walk in the Light
5) Prophet Pictures (got these from the Friend - love the pictures and the info. on the back about each prophet) - Follow the Prophet
6) Raindrops - Rain is Falling, Give Said the Little Stream
7) Summertime Felt cutouts - "What Do you Do in the Summertime?"
8) Still working on putting together some shaky eggs for various songs as well (plastic easter eggs with rice or other shaking materials inside to make noise). Also want to get some "Happy Family" visuals, and maybe put a list of song ideas on the inside of the lid like others do. I also have some small pictures of temples around somewhere that if I can find I will add, to do "I Love to See the Temple". When I have time! HA!
This has been so helpful as it is all contained in one easy to grab box that fits nicely into my primary bag. So glad I did this and would highly recommend.
