To make a button brad: Sew two buttons together on opposite sides (passing the thread through the same hole) to attach parts A and B. Note: When cutting out the center circle, cut on the inside of the black line to make circle fit.

To add to and enhance the above lesson see the lesson (HERE)  Lesson 1 – Primary 2 Manual – CTR-A: Happiness Comes from Choosing the Right

Tell the children that because Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father love each of us so much, they want us to be happy. Share with the children some times when you have felt really happy. (Examples could include getting baptized, sharing with others, doing something fun with your friends, working to achieve a goal, spending enjoyable moments with your family, reading and learning about Jesus, getting married in the temple, or serving a mission.)

Let the children talk about times when they are happy. If the children need some prompting, ask questions such as the following:

• Are you happy when you play with your brothers and sisters?

• Are you happy when you help your mother or father?

• Are you happy when you get to do a favorite activity?

• Are you happy when you come to church?
