deeper

At Luke252.com we like to get more from our Bible stories. Instead of simply reading about John the Baptist’s snack of locusts and honey we decided to create a version of that tasty treat for ourselves.

If you’ve been itching for a place to go deeper…this is it. Check with your parents for the OK, and then dig deeper into the stories of the Bible and experience them in entirely new ways. Of course, we’re not saying that it’s easy to create and eat a moldy bread s’more, but, we bet you won’t forget the experience or the story that goes along with it!

Gross Monster Heads

Go crazy with these grisly creatures. Remember they get more and more hideous with time (kind of like that smelly gym shoe in the bottom of your locker).

Difficulty:

4

Ingredients:

1 small paring knife
Peeled apples
Supplies for making hair and facial features (such as yarn, feathers, cloves, dried beans, rice, corn, pasta, toothpicks, pebbles, and beads)
frozen dessert sticks
Cups or mugs

Directions:

1. With the paring knife, carefully carve eyes, a nose, and a mouth into each peeled apple. The carving doesn't have to be perfect—imperfections make the head look creepier.

2. Poke beads, rice, beans, etc., into the apple to make facial features and hair. Beads or black-eyed peas make good eyes, and rice or cloves work as spiky hair or gnarly teeth. Be creative!

3. Push a frozen dessert stick into the bottom of each apple, and prop upright in a cup or mug in a warm, dry place. Make sure the apple is not touching the side of the cup.

4. Visit your monsters-in-the-making every few days. When the apple heads begin to turn leathery, you can change their expressions. Gently twist the features to form grimaces. In three to four weeks you'll have some gruesome monster heads.
