Hush—It’s Time to Start
Instructions
-
Carefully remove pages 32–33, and mount each on lightweight cardboard.
-
Cut out the owl, including the holes for his eyes.
-
With a pen or pencil, poke a hole through the black dot that is between the owl’s eyes.
-
Cut out the circle containing the eyes. Poke a hole through the black dot in the center of the circle. Put the circle (eyes facing up) behind the owl. Match up the holes, then attach the two pieces with a metal fastener. Turn the eyes until they are closed.

Cut out the poem.

At the start of family home evening, have someone read the poem. Then change the owl’s closed eyes to open eyes to remind everyone to be quiet and pay attention.
A Wise Reminder
Talking time is over,
Family night has begun.
Your arms are still.
Your feet are still.
I’m watching everyone!
