Young Women Activity

My calling in our Church is in the Young Women's organization as a Mia Maid (14-15 yr olds) Advisor.The Mia-Maids were in charge of our Young Women's activity this past Wednesday night and we came up with the idea of making sculptures using rice krispie treats. Rebecca (the other leader) and I made the treats and each class got a pan of it to mold. The rule was that it had to have a religious theme. They had so much fun doing these that I had to post them for you all to see. The Beehive class(12-13 yr olds) with their treats ready to go...

My class busily working on theirs. The object was to work together ( cooperation and communication) so first they had to plan what they were going to make and then who would do what.

The Laurel class (16-18 yr olds) hard at work on theirs. It was so fun to watch them create their sculptures. I was taking pictures so didn't help with any but I did manage to snitch a few remants to munch on while they were working.

Katee, a Laurel leader, displaying her rendition of a pig (if you say so Katee!)

The Beehives hard at work on theirs... and below their finished sculpture. Any guesses on this one?

It's sacrament trays of bread and water of course! Cute little Beehives! Michelle, their leader is hiding in the back.

Next we have the Laurels sculpture. Very creative and the winner ( according to the Young Men).

That's right! It's Noah's Ark. It's hard to see but there were giraffes, snakes, penquins, pigs and hippos with Noah standing proudly on top. Notice Noah's hair and beard!

Last but not least, my ambitious Mia maids whose design was quite complicated...

The Salt Lake Temple complete with a bride and groom!
Not sure what that big red arc above the couple is..an attempt at a door perhaps.

They were a little rushed at the end so the finishing touches never quite got finished. Everyone had a great time doing this activity...much more fun than I thought they would have. Most of the sculptures promptly got eaten by a few of the Young men when we were done.
