Fill the bottom of a small plastic cup or bowl with crushed corn chips. Add dry lettuce, which represents the bush, over top of the corn chips before layering on shredded cheese and chopped tomatoes. The cheese and tomatoes represent the orange and red flames of the burning bush. If desired, top your burning bush salad with your favorite kind of salsa. This recipe is both tasty and low in calories and fat.
Use cheese sauce, which many children love, and a large floret of broccoli to represent the burning bush in this bible story. Fill a small, plastic cup or bowl with a thick layer of cheese sauce, which you can make at home or purchase from the grocery store. Stick the piece of broccoli into the center of the cheese and pour more cheese sauce on top to represent the flames of the burning bush.
Enlist the children to assist you with baking a batch of chocolate or sugar cookies. Bake enough for each child to have one cookie to decorate. Using tubes of green icing, decorate the tops of the cookies to resemble bushes. Next, use tubes of orange, yellow and red icing to add flames to the icing bushes. As an extension of this, children can decorate cookie cut-outs to resemble characters from the story, such as Moses.
Bake a batch of chocolate cupcakes, or add green food coloring to vanilla cupcake batter to bake cupcake bushes. For the most authentic appearance, use brown cupcake liners. Once the cupcakes have cooled, frost the tops with green icing if the desserts are chocolate. Add flames to the bushes using orange, yellow and red icing or small candies.
