Study Snacks

Study snacks are an important part of the homeschool day. Instead of resorting to the same old crackers, fruits, and veggies, surprise your student with a fun Bible-themed treat. Better yet, give your homeschooler a break from the books and make the snack together. While you enjoy the goodies, take time to read and discuss a Bible story that fits the theme of your new creation!

Bible Cookies

Ingredients:
Fig roll
Fruit tape
Icing

1. Use a sharp knife to remove one of the closed edges from the fig roll.
2. Unwrap the fruit tape and use a sharp knife to cut out a 1-inch by 1/2-inch rectangle. Then, trim an extra triangle off one end so it resembles a bookmark.
3. Secure the bookmark inside the Bible using the gooey fig filling.
4. Decorate the cover and binding of the Bible with the icing.

Jesus Calms the Storm

Ingredients:
½ banana
1 pretzel
1 strawberry
Fish-shaped crackers

1. Peel the half-banana and place it on a plate with the curved edge touching the surface. The banana will serve as the hull of your ship.
2. Stick a pretzel in the center of the banana, facing upwards. The pretzel will serve as the mast.
3. Turn the strawberry upside-down and spear it with the pretzel. The strawberry will serve as the sail.
4. Scatter fish-shaped crackers on the remainder of the plate to represent the fish swimming in the sea.
