Edible Nativity Scenes!

On Monday morning, several families from our Homeschool Family Connection group got together at our church to let the kids create these nativity scenes out of food! The stable is made with graham crackers and icing, Mary and Joseph are Keebler Elf cookies, baby Jesus is a teddy graham lying in a graham cracker manger with shredded wheat for hay and of course the animals are animal crackers! (And the angel is a pretzel with a marshmallow head!) Everyone had a good time and it was fun to see how they all turned out! Everyone enjoyed listening to the story of the birth of Jesus and the importance of keeping Him at the center of all that we do this Christmas season!

We worked around the huge island in our church kitchen!

Beckett, Matt and Luke working on their nativity scenes. There was a lot of tasting and finger licking going on! Yum! Holly, Abbey and Nathan

Helen missed the event because she was at Mother's Day Out, so when I picked her up we invited Carson and Carly to come over to our house and make their own nativity scenes too!
Beckett was a pro by now, so he helped Helen put hers together!
Here is Helen's final product!
