Sister White gave us a tour of the new Children's Exhibit. This exhibit is designed to provide families teaching & learning opportunities. There is a photo booth with a mural of the Washington DC Temple as the backdrop. Families can have their picture taken "in front of the Temple". Photos can then be emailed to the families.
There is a huge tree with digital screens hanging on it. The photos taken in the booth are uploaded there. At the base of the three is a large Book of Mormon storybook. Parents can sit with their children and read the stories. Around the base of the tree are stumps for the children to sit on and digital screens with activities, such as coloring pages, which are also uploaded to the branches of the tree.
On the other side of the tree is a mini theater. The children can watch scripture stories or sing along to Primary songs.
The hope of the Visitors' Center missionaries is that families will bring their young children to the exhibit and use it's tools to teach their children about the Gospel and how the Temple and the Book of Mormon help us become more like our Savior, Jesus Christ.
I am so impressed with this Children's Exhibit. It is amazing! I wish my grand-daughter lived near by. I know she would love it!
