You and a two year old are placed in a small, bare, carpeted room for two hours. You do not really know this child. The child has NO idea who you are. Can you handle it? Sure. No worries, right? How about you and 2 two year olds? 3 two year olds ? 5? 7? 9? 12?
Are you screaming for MERCY! yet? Welcome to Nursery. It takes a lot of ideas to make the 2 hours of church nursery run smoothly. I can use all the help I can get.

I'm Not The Only One
So I'm now on the hunt for other LDS nursery sites. Does anyone know of one?
I found this one LDS Nursery. They have pages and pages to photocopy and use as activities, coming from years of experience.
Hi Katie, My name is Amy. Although I am not called into the nursery, I have an almost-two-year-old who goes bananas if his parents aren't with him. So, I get a LOTTA nursery! I found a great site with lots of ideas that's called www.sugardoodle.net. Up at the top of the page, you will see a tab that says "nursery" with lots of fun ideas and activities. I enjoyed reading the stories. Bless your heart for serving those kids (and parents) - it is not easy!
Thanks for the info! That's super helpful. I can't wait to check it out.
I'm hoping to soon put together a post with ideas for what to do for kids that can't stand to be left. I know it can be a battle of EPIC proportions. Best luck to you!
Thanks for this entry about my nursery blog site. :) Thanks for your kind words, & good luck in your nursery adventure!
Amy beat me to it.... I was also going to refer you to www.sugardoodle.net. I frequent that site.
I've also found an alphabetical list of LDS clipart on about.com. I think this link might get you there 'http://lds.about.com/library/gallery/clipart/blclipart_gallery_subindex.htm'.

Oops, I'm sorry. Your name is Kate, not Katie.

And, of course, there's always www.lds.org.
Good luck & have fun!
HAve you tried theideadoor.com ? They have great ideas for nursery and primary ( in fact YW and RS too!) I love that site! Helen.
ReplyDeleteYou have to click on the primary link and the nursery pages are in there!
ReplyDeleteKate,
ReplyDeleteTry Churchbabies.blogspot.com for some VERY cute activities.
Hi, I am currently doing up a nursery music idea handout. I came across your baby face clip art and would love to use it if I can.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
