Have the children explore the kitchen. While supervising your children allow your child to look in the pantry at all the different foods. While looking in the pantry have the children describe the different foods they see. Also, allow your child to look in the cabinets. While looking at the different items in the cabinets ask the children what items can be used for cooking and preparing food. Ask the children if they know what it is. Ask them what it is used for. This is a great time to talk about eating and preparing healthy foods. For example, a small plastic knife is used to cut bread and spread peanut butter and jelly onto sandwiches.

This is a perfect time to talk about the Bible and how to use it. You can show the children your Bible so they have a better understanding of what a book, chapter and verse are. You can say:
“The Bible is one big book made up of many smaller books. Each book has a name. Today we are learning a Bible verse in the book of Acts. When you find Acts in the new testament look for the number 9 at the top left or right of the page, this is the chapter. You will see Acts 9. We are looking for verse 3, and those numbers are much smaller under the big 9.”
After looking at the Bible show them “Acts 9:3” written out on their Memory Verse Coloring Sheet. To see and hear all of the Books that make up the Bible watch this fun, short video, The Books of the Bible, by Readeez!
After they are done coloring they can hang their Memory Verse Coloring Sheet up in a special place. Then when your child walks by the sheet they can work on memorizing the Bible verse.

Cut up some pieces of fruit like oranges and apples for the children to dip in paint and use like stamps. Pieces of carrots can be used to stamp or roll around. Have the children make the different prints of food on a piece of construction paper. Here is a video of apple prints that you can look at to get an idea. No need to spend a lot of money on as you will be tossing them after using them. I don’t like to do a lot of activities using food to paint with because I think it’s a waste, however I think a little bit is okay and children love to do it.
