Old Testament Sunday School Snacks
In your Sunday School class, having a snack which is associated with the main Bible story is a great way to reinforce the lesson. On this page you'll find snacks to reinforce Old Testament stories: creation, Adam and Eve, baby Moses, King David, Jonah, and more.
Some of the snacks featured here can be made by the children in their class. Others will be made ahead of time and just eaten and enjoyed during class. Make sure you point out the significance of the snack for maximum learning opportunities.

- I wrapped a crescent roll around a hotdog leaving a small opening for face and baked them. When done you can put mustard drops as eyes if you want to. These represented Baby Jesus wrapped in swaddling clothes
