Hit that Note

Tomorrow is our primary program at church.  I am one of the choristers in primary and I LOVE the opportunity to teach children about our Savior Jesus Christ through song.  It's not easy.  Some weeks it can be a struggle to come up with a new way to teach music but thankfully there are so many talented people who have great ideas who can help inspire ideas for me.  Last Sunday, as we practiced our program I felt the Spirit so strongly and wanted to reward them for their hard work.  So, I came up with this idea...

I decided to make sugar cookies in the shape of a music note and this thought came to my mind...

"Way to Hit Those Notes!"

I found the cookie cutter on Amazon in the shape of a music note and then placed the cookies in little 4x6 in. party bags.  I made a little print out with my thought (you can download the PDF here).  I decided to ice the cookies with royal icing which is a bit of a process but the frosting hardens nicely and its less messy than a buttercream icing but both are delicious and would work.  I kept the icing white and just used black sprinkles instead of tinting the frosting black.  

The music in primary is beautiful and a powerful way children learn and remember gospel truths.  I'm so proud of our primary kids and the hard work they have given this year to learn the songs. Hopefully this helps them feel my love and appreciation for all their effort this year.
