I basically copied this lesson making it more of a "be helpful" emphasis, rather than an atonement/sin emphasis. I made sure to only write burdens my kids could relate to on the cans. The kids all really wanted to try carrying the burdens upstairs by themselves. My 3-year old and 5-year old were able to carry all 10 cans by themselves, though quite difficult for the 3-year old. However, I think they still understood that it's easier if we all help out.
It was fun and a great analogy. We'll see if I can bring it up during the week to really get it to stick. I could see doing this again with older kids and making it more about the burden of sin (which I didn't focus on, since young kids can't really sin...)
