Jonah in the Big Fish

by

Create the story of Jonah in the belly of the big fish!  Big Fish: cantaloupe sliced through without cutting in half;  Jonah: Baby carrot with raisin eyes;  Spout: cheerios;  Eyes and Mouth of Fish: red grapes.
Read the story of Jonah and the Big Fish (the book of Jonah in the Old Testament) or in this great Bible for kids.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

by

We all love the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.  
Take a morning and read the story with your child, then talk about all the foods the caterpillar ate, and perhaps talk about which of the foods he ate were nutritious and which were not. 
Then, create him yourself!  Take a large strawberry and slice to create his head.  Next, create his eyes by using little bits of pineapple cut into circles and place sliced green jelly belly candies in front.  Form his body with green grapes , carrot feet, raisin mouth, and ham antennae.  He is walking on an oatmeal ground and taking in the cheddar cheese sun!

Monkey

by

To make this very easy monkey, simply cut a peanut butter sandwich into what looks like a pear and then add 2 half circle ears.  Layer a slice of turkey to create the facial area color,and add a red bell pepper mouth and 2 raisin eyes.  You could also use a thin strip of watermelon for the mouth if your child isn’t a big fan of bell peppers.

David and Goliath

by

David and Goliath:  their bodies are made of celery.  David’s sling is made of ham with a grape half for a stone.  Their heads are made of Ritz crackers, raisin eyes, and carrots for mouths.  The Sun is made of a banana, and Goliath’s sword is made of a carrot.
Read the story of David and Goliath together (1 Samuel 17).  I love this Bible for preschool aged kids.
Create this lunch, and talk about how David must have felt going up against the giant.  
Thank God for saving His people, the Israelites, through such a miraculous victory.  Enjoy!
