Owl Pillow Box
Here is a sweet little idea for gift giving for your visiting teaching friends.
(This box is perfect as a glove gift box.)
Cut out and score all folds. Glue the side, fill with a treasure, then fold over top and bottom flaps. He's such a cheery little owl!

Baby Jesus in a Manger
"Baby Jesus in a Manger"
a Family activity
and a craft.
After making the Baby Jesus in a Manger, each child or member of the family can participate in the activity each day by performing a good deed and presenting it to the Savior as a gift--either spoken or left as a chip. (Chips shown below.) Each family member can put his or her name on the chips or leave them off. Watch the good deeds pile up like gold from truly "wise men and women."
What fun for each child to have his or her own little Baby Jesus all through Christmas.
