In case you’re wondering, a Baobab tree is called the Tree of Life, and was featured as such
in Disney’s “The Lion King.” The Baobab tree is capable of providing shelter, food, and water
for the animals and people of the African savannah regions. Its cork-like bark is used for cloth
and rope. Its leaves are used for condiments and medicines. It bears fruit, called “monkey
bread.” It is capable of storing large amounts of water, which can be tapped in dry periods.
For most of the year, the tree is leafless, and looks like it has its roots sticking up in the air.
There are legends that the tree was stuffed in the ground upside down so it could no longer
complain!
Our Baobab Blast features different “themes for life” each day through Bible stories, crafts,
music, and games.
Day One is about Trust featuring the Zebra and Genesis 12:1-9 where God asks Abram to
leave his home and go to a new land.
Day Two is about Love featuring the Red Colobus Monkey and Genesis 37, 41-45, the story
of Joseph and his brothers.
Day Three the theme is Follow, the animal is the Elephant, and the story is from Luke 5:1-
11, 27-32; 6:12-16; 8:1-3, Jesus calling his disciples and followers.
Day Four the word is Care, the animal is the Meerkat, and the story is from Luke 10:25-37,
the Good Samaritan.
Day Five the theme is Share, the animal is the Giraffe, and the story is from Acts 8:26-40
about Phillip and the Ethiopian.
