In your homeliving/dramatic play area, collect supplies to make pudding together. Have some yummy add-ins (marshmallows, sprinkles, whip topping), as well. Hide in a brown bag samples of pet food: a can of dog food, a packet of cat food, and some feed corn. Every time you add something to the pudding, like milk or marshmallows, ask the children if they would like to add one of the pet foods you pull from your bag. If some answer “Yes”, laugh with them for being silly and ask “Can you imagine being so hungry that you would eat pet food or animal food?” Tell the children that today we will hear a story that Jesus himself told about a man who was so hungry, he ate pig food!
