Parent At Home Activity:
Create a Special Palm Sunday Snack: Crunchy Path
You’ll need:
graham crackers,
green-colored vanilla icing,
round chocolate candies,
teddy bear crackers,
plastic knives
Encourage your kids to wash their hands before they prepare their snacks, and make sure the snack area is clean. Have them each use a graham cracker to make a section of the road that Jesus and the donkey traveled. Then have them spread icing on graham crackers, then place the graham crackers in a row on the table, like bricks on the road. Have children make a crowd by lining both sides of the road with teddy-bear crackers. Then have them drop the round chocolate candies along the path as the donkey’s footsteps.
Invite your child to say a prayer thanking Jesus for being our king. Then enjoy your special eat goodies you have make together!
