The Armor of God

 Hello, friends! Today, Skinny helps me teach you about putting on the armor of God and the second verse of Scripture Power. We sing lots of songs that can help us learn about the different parts of the armor. Warning - I do apply my own theory about the armor and what it symbolizes. Please share with your children what you think the armor means to you. 

  I included a coloring/cutting activity. I wanted Skinny to help me with pictures for Scripture Power and it took on a life of it's own. I really think I had help from above to create this Paper Warrior (Paper Doll). She comes in color or as a coloring page. I hope the kids have a fun time with this. Just a few tips- you may need to tape the stand to the back of the warrior, I used tape to attach the sword and shield, and keep the shoes together joined at the ankle. Tape fixes every mistake.

Here are a few coloring pages from the church website that I've used in Search Ponder and Pray. These scenes from the Book of Mormon were some of the stories I thought of when I considered the words of the song.

"I feel the spirit start to grow within my heart, a testimony that they're true." This picture even has hidden hearts drawn in.

Alma baptizes at the Waters of Mormon

This picture is what I thought of when I considered the words, "I'll come to understand, I'll heed the Lord's command, and live as he would have me do.
