September Visiting Teaching Handout Ideas

Of One Heart

Before I get into all the adorable details for this months visiting teaching message I wanted to thank you all for your support on the giveaway I had this week!  Everyone that entered and checked out those amazing Etsy Shops are such sweethearts!  Thank you for your support and a huge congrats to Sarah Osborne on being the lucky winner! Seriously I'm jealous! haha

This months Visiting Teaching message is all about becoming one with one another.  This means that by showing love, compassion and accepting others we become closer to each other and we are able to please our Father in heaven by doing what he has had planned for us all along.  We grow closer to each other when we share each others burdens and show kindness no matter what they may be going through.  


This month I was inspired by the book, The Crayon Box that Talked By Shane DeRolf.  I love the simplicity of this book and that no matter how young or old, everyone can relate to this book and learn something from it.  It's a book about a box of crayons that don't get along with each other.  A little girl hears their conversation and buys the box and goes home to color the prettiest picture.  Only after they all work together, they see how needed and important each one of them really is.  

I love this part of the book, "We are like a box of crayons.  Each one of us unique.  But when we get together...The picture is complete."


So with Back to School in full swing the theme just fit!  I think it would be such a fun gift to give the sisters you visit teach-the book with this little tag or calendar, but if you wanted other options I have loads more too! 


Like these adorable little crayon decorations that are in the clearance Dollar Bins at Target.  I got mine for 50 cents, but I've heard they've dropped even lower.  


Or if you've been giving the calendar every month like my cute Grandma, you could give these little pencil clips just attach a magnet to the back.  Or just give them the printout so they can put it in their IKEA frame.


I feel like everyone always love art supplies, and giving crayons with this message is a no brainer!  


All of these items were less then $4 and the lowest was only about 20 cents.  I love the option of the crayon Twistables.  Super cute and easy to use!


Pair your choice of crayons or colored pencils with this super cute little coloring book all about how we can become 'Of One Heart."  Find all these adorable free printables below with links for the items if I can find them!


Or if you'd like you can put an adult coloring book with it. 
 I found these coloring books at Dollar Tree.


Not feeling the actual crayons?  They have the cutest new nail polish that would go perfectly with this theme! The perfect collaboration with Sally Hansen and Crayola!  Give them their favorite color so they'll love it even more!


If you're feeling a little crafty I have the cutest idea for you!  I found more crayons at Dollar Tree and grab a container while you're there.  They had glass ones too if you'd prefer that.  


Then just hot glue the crayons around the side of your container and you have the cutest little gift to give!  


I seriously think it's the cutest thing.  If you use a glass container you could put fresh flowers in, but I opted for cardboard and fake flowers! 


So many adorable options!  What is your favorite!?  I love to hear how people use these handouts, so let me know down below!
