Primary children, leaders and parents are invited to watch the next Friend to Friend on March 9 to learn the importance of following Jesus.
The broadcast will feature special guests President Dallin H. Oaks, first counselor in the First Presidency, and his wife, Sister Kristen M. Oaks, and will be hosted by the Primary general presidency, explained an event notice on ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
The 20-minute episode will include fun, engaging content made just for kids — with music, a craft and a visit from Louie the Toucan. The episode can be used at home or in Primary to help adults teach children about the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Instructions for making the craft during the Friend to Friend
Children will learn to make their own Easter lily during the broadcast with materials they have available — such as paper, crayons, markers, scissors, tape and a stick.
They will begin by tracing their hand on a piece of paper, cutting out the shape, then rolling it around a stick and curling the fingers down like petals.
The craft instructions will also be in the March Friend magazine.
