Scripture: Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. -Zechariah 9:9
Kid's Activity Idea: What's better than a Sundae on a Sunday?! Today let your kids make a "Palm Sundae Dessert"! I found this on the webpage posted below if you'd like to look at it for more info.
As you put together your "Sundaes" - talk about what each item of the Sundae represents and it's importance. Make it fun and don't forget to share some photos of them!
HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO GET STARTED:
Ice Cream- You can’t have a sundae without it! I opted for plain vanilla, but really I think you could choose any flavor.
Crushed Cookies- The crushed cookies symbolize the rough and rocky road that Jesus traveled on when coming in to Jerusalem.
Green Candy for Palm Leaves- You’ll want to find a green candy for this one. I actually got insanely lucky and found leaf-shaped mint candies at my local Dollar General. Alternatively, you could use green sour straws, jelly beans, green sprinkles, fruit roll ups, gummy worms, green raisins, etc. You’ll pour this on top of the crushed road to represent the palm branches that were waved and spread across the road during Jesus’ arrival.
Miniature Kit Kat- This represents the donkey that Jesus rode on.
Sour Parch Kid- This represents Jesus. You can use whatever candy you want for this, but I thought it would be perfect since it is sort-of-human shaped. Gummy bears might also work.
Sprinkles- This represents the joy and celebration of the crowd as the Messiah entered into Jerusalem.
Reddi-Whip or Cool Whip- This is solely just for aesthetics. You can’t have ice cream without a little extra cream! Plus, it makes it so much easier to place Jesus, the donkey and the sprinkles.
