Easter weekend is right around the corner and we thought it would be fun to share some of our favorite holiday snacks! These easy Easter snacks are simple, kid friendly, festive and quick to make. The last snack even reminds us of Christ this Easter season.
Bunny Fruit Kabobs are healthy and fresh with a pop of holiday fun on top! Gather three types of fruit. We recommend items that can easily be slid onto a kabob and still hold their shape like grapes, strawberries and pineapple. Other great ideas would be apple slices, fresh cherries or blackberries. Fruit that tends to fall apart are bananas and kiwi.
How to make Bunny Fruit Kabobs:
Step 1: Gather your fruit. Wash it.
Step 2: Slide the fruit in a pattern onto your kabob.
Step 3: Top with a bunny peep.
Step: 4 Enjoy!

Having the Spirit in our homes is essential to teaching kids the gospel of Jesus Christ. From the prophets Hosea and Joel, we learn that the Lord’s traits include being “gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and… great kindness” (Joel 2:13). If we show these traits as parents, we will create an environment where the Lord will “pour out his spirit” in our lives.
When Daniel stood up to the king and chose to protect his health, he showed incredible faith! This week, you can teach your children that same principle with the interactive Daniel Food Box craft and a batch of simple No-bake Energy Bites. As your family reads Daniel 1, you’ll get to talk about how fueling our bodies with healthy food is a wonderful way to express our devotion and love for Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
Though the captive Israelites didn’t have a temple to worship in Babylon, they still held on to the blessings that came from keeping their covenants. We should teach our children that the temple is a special place, and its blessings can touch every part of our lives!
