CHILDREN’S LESSON ACTIVITY. I LOVE MY BODY poster or coloring page. Children love talking about their body and why they love it. As you talk about each part: mouth, hands, eyes, and ears, talk about the Word of Wisdom. Our body is like Heavenly Father’s body which is like a very special temple. We should take care of it. For example, “We can feel good as we eat fruits and vegetables and grains. We can make our hearts strong as we exercise.”
