The Six Bees

 The Six Bees came from a talk by Gordon B. Hinkley back in 2001.  I got to go to the Conference Center when he gave this talk.  This message is very special to me and I believe it strongly.  I knew that I had to include it in my quiet book because I really want my children to learn it and know that it is true like I do.

1. Trace the beehive and the words on the page felt. (I waited to the end to do the dotted lines around the bees.)
2. Color the beehive.
3. Trace the bees on spare felt.  Make sure to leave about half of an inch between each of the bee's.
4. Color the bees.
5. Place the bees over another piece of spare felt.  Put a pin through each of the bees so they are each connected.  Then cute through both layers leaving a little boarder around the bees.
6. Sew snaps onto the back layer of the bees.
7. Sew the other half of the snaps onto the page felt (You can use velcro if you want but I wanted to have a bunch of different forms of connecting the pieces as I could to teach the children how to do them all).
8. Sew the front on the bee to the back of the bee with the snap side out (may also use wonder under instead of sewing).
9. Place the bees on the snaps and outline the bees with a dotted line.
