Make Fun and Creative Gifts for Your LDS Missionary Care Package

For Sentimental/Special packages

- Dip hand in paint and make handprint on paper - let dry and then write message on paper (is especially touching if the hand prints are little ones from nieces and nephews)

- Poems/stories/scriptures

- Pictures

- Make a P-day shirt with notes of encouragement and signatures from the ward written with fabric markers or paint

- Personalize a bookmark for scriptures

- Send pad of sticky notes all used up with messages that begin with "I'm proud of you because..."

- Make a mobile out of some of your missionary's favorite things: picture of their pet, favorite candies, items representing favorite sport or hobby, etc.

- Write them a rap or a song and sing it to them by recording it on a cassette tape or video tape - do it for family home evening

- Make a paper chain (like the kind you make for your Christmas tree) and write little notes to your missionary on each piece of paper

- Write the next letter on cardstock and then cut it into a puzzle for them to put together
