The quiet kid

Frankly, this looks a lot like my Primary class!
 

Singing time

This is officially the first zombie cartoon of the season!
 

Does it count?

It's a question we ask often in the deacon's quorum.
 

Sketchbook: Wrong room

There are worse places you could wind up than in the Primary room!
 

Sketchbook: NBD

Truth be told, the rest of the Church is finally coming around to the Primary way of doing things, but perhaps with a little less singing!
 

Hold please

Some lessons are that good!
 

Small voices

Sometimes Primary is the most spiritual when it's the loudest.
 

Going deep

These kinds of hypothetical discussions are sometimes fun to have. Personally I think the missionaries would think they struck gold if they knocked into Bluey's family. Hello Kitty might be a little too aloof to be interested beyond a few discussions, IMHO.

But what I'd really like to see? Muffin in the nursery
 

Fridge worthy

We've been having fun with our Primary class and the stories of Moses. We made a book of the plagues, we made Play-doh fishes when they crossed the Red Sea, and we drew pictures of the Ten Commandments.* I don't know how much the kids learned, but they made art!

Incidentally, this is exactly how I feel whenever I finish a cartoon. It may not be funny, but it's art! I have no less authority than Calvin and Hobbes on this one.

*We did taste-testing for manna, but it was way less artistic than the other lessons. Variety, right?

 

They're keepers

Yes, I know that moms serve in other places — I would never dare disrespect the Young Womens program! — and I know there are women who are not mothers who are in Relief Society. I'm taking literary (or is it ecclesiastical?) license for the sake of a joke.

Thank you.
 

Some days are like that

I've seen kids fall asleep in nursery, and I've seen tired teachers, but I've never seen a kid leave sharing time who wasn't full of energy!
 

Big blessings

I've been in some Primaries that felt that big!
 

I hope I'll be ready to reach and teach

It's true. You can't get in a door if you can't get it open.
 

Times and seasons

I don't know of this is in the Handbook, but in almost every ward I've been in, they seem to release the Primary presidency right before or just after the Primary program in sacrament meeting.
 

TGIP

There one hour in Primary each week almost makes up for the rest of the week!
 

Keeping up with the Heelers

Honestly, though, you could do way worse than Bluey. It's all about being part of a supportive family. Some of my favorite episodes include Shadowlands, Takeaway, Hammerbarn and Grannie Mobile.

I wonder what Bluey and Bingo would be like in Primary?
 

Sketchbook: The keys

Every Primary has one — the kid who can reach the keys, pound out a few notes, then disappear into thin air. 
 

But they are Valiant

Our Primary class was less than half of its normal size this week thanks to summer and the upcoming holiday. There's another ward in our stake that doubles in attendance during the summer months. It's on the coast. Is that a surprise?
 

Pushing the boundaries

When I was a kid growing up in the Salt Lake Valley, there was one thing I could never figure out. There were a lot of parents who wouldn't allow their kids to play with non-members — and then they expected those same kids to serve as full-time missionaries when they grew up.
 

Raise your voice

Now how about a verse of Reverently, Quietly?
