The Church History Museum in Salt Lake City is celebrating the 203rd birthday of the Prophet Joseph Smith with special themed activities for children. The festivities began on Joseph's birthday, Dec. 23, and will run until Jan. 3.
One of the main highlights of the birthday celebration is storytelling by docent missionaries who play the roles of important people in Joseph's life.
Another popular exhibit uses hands-on imprint stamping to help children better understand the printing presses on which the Book of Mormon was initially produced.
Other activities include crafts, games, a theater show and a discovery tour that invites children to explore artifacts throughout the museum.
When children leave the museum, they are offered a Joseph Smith birthday treat in the form of a molasses cookie.
