I decided this year that the 3rd Monday of the month would be a lesson on the same things we have been talking about in Young Women's that month. This month's topic is "The Plan of Salvation".
I remembered our lesson being very successful last year, so I'm just doing the same thing again with minor changes. My son loves to color now, so he and I (and my 2-year old daughter "helped") colored the pages after lunch as preparation. Also, this time, I made the destinations be a progression to getting ready for bed as well. We started in the family room with Pre-existence, went to the kitchen for treats for Earth (our bodies allow us to experience physical things like eating). Then we went to the bottom of the stairs to talk about Spirit Prison/Paradise. At the top of the stairs was judgement and they changed into their pajamas (they got new bodies like the resurrection). Then I had 3 different rooms represent the 3 degrees of glory. We brushed teeth in the "Telestial Kingdom" which was lit only with a nightlight. Then we went into the "Terrestrial Kingdom", my son's room, which was lit with a small lamp, and read our scriptures. Then we finally went to the "Celestial Kingdom", my daughter's room, which was fully lit and the sun was coming in through the window. There we had a closing song, and read several stories for bed.
They both really liked it- probably the first FHE I can remember my 2-year-old daughter wanting more (she asked if we could go to the next picture a few times before she realized we were done.) Travelling around the house is a big hit :)
