Pioneer Wagon Craft

Submitted by Jenny Smith on

I made this fun craft printable from an idea one of my children brought home from school. Basically, it is a covered wagon (viewed from the rear) with a hole in the middle that shows scenes the pioneers may have seen while traveling from Winter Quarters to Salt Lake. You turn the wheel, and you'll follow the journey across rivers, through the plains, in the heat and rain, over the mountains to Salt Lake. Cute!

Designed so that only one page is needed per craft. Can be printed on cardstock for durability.

(It requires a brad or brass fastener in order to work.)

...

The first recorded glimpse of a celebration is written on Christmas 1843 by the Prophet Joseph Smith. The entry marks a new outlook among Mormons toward the day:
