Ingredients: Graham crackers Frosting (green or white) Green food coloring (necessary if you’re using white frosting) Gummy bears Directions: If using […]
I saw this treat on Pinterest and had to find a way to incorporate it into one of our lessons. It’s perfect for Father’s Day or any lesson where you’re trying to emphasize strength (ie: being strong in the Lord, Samson’s strength, etc.) Thank you to CandiQuik for the original idea! Ingredients: Keebler Fudge Stripes […]
This snack was very quick and easy to make. You could also glam it up by sprinkling the almond bark with sprinkles. I found the original idea on Pinterest! Ingredients: Pretzel rods White almond bark Directions: Line a large jellyroll pan with waxed paper. Melt a few squares of almond bark in microwave-safe bowl, according […]
I made this snack for our lesson about when Jesus calmed the storm. The small cups with lids came from Walmart in a package of twenty. I made five or six small packages of blue Jello and evenly distributed it between the cups, then put them in the fridge to set up. (Just follow the […]
We made this really neat temple snack for our lesson about when twelve-year-old Jesus was left behind after the Passover festival. I like that kids can get creative and use the “building blocks” to make their own version of the temple. For this particular model I used pretzel “dipping sticks,” but pretzel rods or smaller […]
For our lesson about the paralytic whose friends carried him to Jesus and lowered him through a hole in the roof to be healed, we made this cute and simple snack. You will want to keep the frosting refrigerated until you’re ready to use it, otherwise it won’t be stiff enough to keep the Teddy […]
For Father’s Day we decided on a very simple gift for the fathers. I bought some meat sticks and a variety of small candy bars for the children to choose from to give their fathers. All you have to do is cut a short length of ribbon to tie them together and the kids can […]

Each of the kids got to frost and decorate their own “colorful coat” cookie at snack time. This is the T-Shirt Cookie Cutter I got from Amazon. The […]
For our Mother’s Day lesson, the kids put together treat bags to give their mothers. Each child got a quart-size ziploc and picked out snacks which were lined up buffet-style on a table. The treat bag accompanied the Mother’s Day card that each child made. Here’s the list of what we had, but next year […]
For our lesson on Families (featuring the story of Adam & Eve), I had a hard time coming up with a snack. Eventually I found this snack at Cute Creative and Fun! It’s simple, cute, healthy (and quite frankly, I was tired of looking for the perfect idea). Ingredients: Block of cheese (I used a […]
For our lesson on Stewardship & Treasure, we did this easy demonstration to give kids a good visual for how much their tithe really is. Materials: Lg. bag of Skittles Med./lg. bowl Small bowl Med./lg. spoon Napkins Directions: Review with the children what tithing is, and how much it is. Tell them you’re going to […]
This is the supremely easy snack we had for our lesson about faith, featuring the story of Jesus and Peter walking on water. I saw the idea originally at Our Littlest Disciples. Just grab some graham crackers and break them in half. Spread blue frosting on the cracker and place two Teddy Grahams standing up […]
For our lesson on Stewardship and Talent, the kids assembled bags of supplies for some of the homeless people in our community. We set up the supplies buffet-style and the kids worked in pairs to gather the items and fill the bags. They also each drew a picture on an index card to include in […]
We recently had a lesson about when Jesus came to visit Mary and Martha in their home. I saw this snack on Pinterest and thought it would be perfect for the lesson. I imagine Martha was busy doing some cleaning along with her cooking to prepare for Jesus’ visit. Simply cut a section of Fruit […]
Okay, I think this is our last out-of-season Halloween post! These little spider pizzas are a bit finicky to make, but lots of fun to eat! They would be great if you’re doing some kind of fall outreach with families, when you have a little more time for involved activities like this one. Ingredients: English […]
This post contains an affiliate link. My kids and I had a blast creating the cups for the our Monster Floats on Halloween! I originally saw the idea on Pinterest. I suggest figuring out the layout of the face before gluing anything on, as it’s really hard to re-position once the glue is on there. […]
My kids and I made some fun treats for Halloween, but I’m just now getting around to sharing them. My favorite was this tiny jack-‘o-lantern made by simply drawing a face on an upside down clementine / mandarin / Halo / Cutie (whatever you want to call it). I tried using both a regular Sharpie […]
