We just read in 1Nephi about Lehi's vision of the tree of life, so we thought it would be fun to do our own for FHE. The kids helped me make a tree with potato stamps that we made earlier in the day. Barry made a path of yarn through out the house that lead down to the basement where the "tree of life" was where they could partake of the fruit of the tree (caramel apples). Along the way was temptation. We set out different things that the kids really liked to tempt them away from the "rod of iron." The first was perler beads (both kids fell for it), then the Wii (only Kara fell for it), then some strawberries, candy and beef jerky (Kara fell for it, and kept the beef jerky with her the rest of the evening. Tanner ate the temptation, but managed to hang on to the rod), then a Star Wars Movie playing (Tanner fell for it), then some arts and crafts (Kara fell for it) and then they made it to the tree. When they let go of the rod we blind folded them and turned them around so they had to find there way back to the rod in the "mist of darkness." The kids had a great time and we all loved the fruit at the end!
This is Kara falling for the Wii temptation.
