How to Create Your Thumbprint Conference Scene
We walk you through the steps in our tutorial video on this page but to sum up, here’s what you need to know:
- Stamp your thumbs - Choose your favorite colors to start stamping little thumbprints on your page. We like this multi-colored stamp pad.
- Add doodle details - Use your pen to turn each thumbprint into something special- the prophet, apostles, etc.
- Build your scene - Follow the video to learn how to make a podium, the apostles and prophet, audience members, and plants.
- Make it yours - Add your own touches- quotes from past talks, names of apostles, the organ, or anything personal that makes it meaningful for your family. Stickers are another easy but fun option to add on.
It’s a creative, gospel-centered activity that can be done with a just a few supplies and colored thumbs. Frame it, gift it, or tuck it into your General Conference notebook to remember.

Celebrate the sweetest story ever told, one tiny treat at a time.
Turn everyday candies into thoughtful Christmas gifts, a daily scripture countdown, or a family Christmas Eve devotional. Our Nativity Candy Circles attach to wrapped treats like Hershey’s Kisses, Rolos, and miniature Reese’s peanut butter cups, adding a reminder of Jesus Christ to each little bite.
For a countdown, include one of each picture and choose a candy at random each day, December 1–24. Match the picture to the scripture guide and read about the Savior’s birth, life, and mission. For a Christmas devotional, use the separate numbered Nativity guide to assign readings and share the Christmas story together.
Or simply fill a mug, jar, treat bag, or stocking with decorated candies. No counting required! Add a matching gift tag for neighbors, teachers, friends, or the families you minister to.
