Prayer Bracelet Craft: to remember to pray and read scriptures daily

Make a sweet little prayer bracelet to help you remember to do the simple things; morning prayer, evening prayer, scripture study, and write in your journal.

Activity Days Prayer Bracelet

I was looking for a fun activity to make with the 8-11 year old girls that I worked with at church, at our Activity Days program, and stumbled upon these darling bracelets! We made these last year and it's fun to see that many of them still have their bracelets! These aren't limited to those of the LDS faith or the 8-11 age group, either. The sweet reminders stand for things that many (of all different faiths) strive to do on a daily basis---no matter what your age.

There are 4 sets of letter beads that stand for 4 things to remember to do daily:

MP= morning prayer

EP= evening prayer

SS= scripture study

WJ= write in journal

I purchased wire memory bracelet rings and beads from Oriental Trading. Before the activity I bent one end of the wire ring over and separated the letter beads into little baggies for the girls. At the activity, I set out bowls of colorful beads for the girls to sort through.

They had SO MUCH FUN putting their bracelets together and reading President Monson's last conference address about reading the scriptures. (This passes off "Read a recent conference address given by the prophet. Decide what you can do to follow the prophet, and do it." in Learning & Living the Gospel in the Faith in God Booklet).

A darling activity that was both spiritual and creative. My favorite kind! These memory wires are awesome. The bracelet just slips onto the wrist without a fastener of any kind. As much as my girls love making bracelets at home, having a small stash of the memory wires on hand might be a good idea.
