Nativity Snack We gathered up snacks that would help reinforce the story of Jesus's birth. Here is what we came up with and what we ate in class today: Star cereal- represent the star of Bethlehem which the Wisemen followed. (Matthew 2:1-2) Cheerios- remind us of the hallos of angels that sang at the birth of Baby Jesus. (Luke 2:13-14) Animal Cookies- Remind us that Jesus was born in a stable. (Luke 2:7) Pretzel sticks- (shepherd's staff) remind us of the shepherds that came to see the new born king. (Luke 2:15-18) Marshmallows- Remind us of the pure holy baby that came to save us and wash as white as snow. (Luke 2:11) M&M's (we found this poem online): As you hold these candies in you hand, and turn them you will see. The M becomes a W, an E, and a 3. They tell the Christmas story. It's one I'm sure you know. It took place in a stable. A long, long time ago. The E is for the East where the star shone so bright. The M is for manger where Baby Jesus slept that night. The 3 if for the Wisemen, bearing gifts they say they came. W is for worship, hallelujah, praise His name. So as you eat these candies or share them with a friend, remember the meaning of Christmas. It's a love story that never ends.
