Scripture
I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other--This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him! ( Joseph Smith—History 1:17)
Jenny's Tips
May 15, 1829, is the date the Aaronic Priesthood was restored. Most units have some sort of Priesthood Commemoration activity during this month to celebrate this great event. Be sure to emphasize these activities to the children in your Primary to help them . Encourage them to talk about the events of the restoration with their families.
Hooray! I'm so glad that someone at Church Headquarters chose this Primary theme according to the events relating to this month! I hope they do this again every year. Many families hold regular times of remembrance that go along with historic events and holidays. The Primary Board can really help support families by choosing themes that correspond with calendar events, holidays, and seasons. I hope they do more of it!

Mrs. Potato Head Singing Time "I have been wanting to make some sort of Singing Time activity where children build a face or clothe someone (e.g., the armor of God) for some time now so creating a Mrs. Potato Head for Mother's Day seemed perfect. The best part is that this isn't a Mother's Day only activity. In fact, later, I can create some seasonal clothing ... and when I am not using it for primary, it makes a nice activity for children that doesn't take up much space :)This was a very easy activity to create, but it did take some time to cut everything out and color everything in.I would be happy to share the artwork...
