At church I got a new calling working with the 10 and 11 year old girls. I love it!! These girls are so much fun. My only challenge really is that there are 20 of them! It is hard to find things to do with them that we can get done in an hour. We kind of have to keep it simple. So this week I decided to turn them all in to Santa's little helpers.
I saw the idea on The Fickle Pickle and switched it up a little bit to go with the holiday, since its December and all. I found some $1 Santa hats at Walmart, grabbed a couple of boxes of candy canes and put my own elves to work putting together 20 Mission Possible packets. I used the the printables from The Fickle Pickle's original post which are super awesome! She even has a list of service activities to do. Because of the Santa hats I went ahead and used 9x12 manila envelopes. I put together a subway art tag for the front and was done. For the subway art I used a couple of lines about elves from Christmas movies that were in my head. We have been watching the Santa Clause kind of a lot so thats where a couple come from.
The girls loved it and it was fun to hear them get excited about all the different things they could do for others. They make awesome elves!
