General Conference Trail Mix Activity

Here’s a fun and free General Conference activity for small kids! All you need is a few food items that you probably already have around the house! General Conference happens every 6 months in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

When I was preparing this blog post I asked my Oldest what General Conference was. “Yeah, yeah I know what it is Mom.”  “INDULGE ME, what is it?” “It’s when church is canceled and we stay home and watch the prophets on TV in our pajamas.” Yuuup, that pretty much sums it up ;).
