VBS Ideas for God's Big Backyard?

Question

I am the Snack coordinator for our church VBS this year. Our theme is God's Big Backyard and is about service. Does anyone have any cute snack or decorating ideas? Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

You could do foods that are usually at backyard barbeques or picnics. Like watermelon, hot dogs, PB&Js. Or you could get really creative with the snacks and make like flowers or tree out of food.

Here's a link to a bunch of fun cute snack ideas you could use:

As for decoration, make wherever you are holding it lok like a big backyard, maybe paint some dogs playing around on paper then hang it on the walls.

Answer 2

You can always do insects. You could make something like ants on a log--celery stuffed with p-nut butter (check for allergies) or cream cheese and then put raisins in the stuffing, gummy worms, etc.

Answer 3

Dirt cups (chocolate cookies crumbled below chocolate pudding and gummy worms)
