Materials:
Posterboard
Markers
Tape
Glue

To assemble:

Cut out, color (if needed) and laminate the verse art.
On the posterboard, paste the picture of the Preexistance on the far left. Enlarge as you need to.
To the right of the Preexistance circle, paste a veil and the picture of the world.
To the right of the world, paste another veil.
Then, on the right side, paste the Celestial (sun), Telestial (moon) and Terrestrial (star) in a vertical row.
Laminate.

(You can use this for FHE and other sharing times later on to explain the Plan of Salvation if you simply add two circles between the second veil and the kingdoms -- Spirit Prison and Paradise)

All of the images above will save as larger files than they look. To save, right click over the pictures and "Save Image As".
