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!

Zion’s Camp was less of an army marching to liberate Missouri and more of a multi-week training in how to be a true saint. Those who showed they trusted in the Lord by following the Prophet Joseph received a massive boost to their faith, giving them strength for the road ahead: “That they themselves may be prepared, and that my people may be taught more perfectly, and have experience” (Doctrine and Covenants 105:10).
Doctrine and Covenants 97 was given to the saints as both a blessing of comfort and instruction. With persecution growing around them, the saints needed to know the will of the Lord to guide them. Jesus Christ spoke peace to the saints through the Prophet Joseph, encouraging them to wait “patiently on the Lord” and to do what He would do, even if it meant further persecution (D&C 97:2).
It’s easy to think that, as parents, we’re not doing enough to give our children a good life. The world is always persuading us to look at what others are doing and tells us our kids are missing out on extravagant trips, the latest entertainment systems, and privileged extracurricular activities. Yet these experiences will fall short of the positive impact that regular family prayer, daily scripture study, and keeping covenants can have on our children.
