Object Lesson | Donut vs Munchkin

Source (Where I saw it): Original

Supplies: Donut and Donut Hole.

Preparation: Make sure to have a donut and donut hole of the same kind.

The object lesson & how I used it...

Main Point: We should give God our best, not our leftovers.

Illustration: Show the kids the donuts.  Ask them which one they would prefer - the whole donut or the little munchkin.  Which one would they keep if they had to give one to someone else.  Most people would keep the big part and then give away the munchkin.

Explanation of point:  The point is that many of us do this with God.  The munchkin is made from the leftover parts of the donut.  We many times give God just what is leftover instead of of first and best.  For example, when we first wake up and play video games instead of thanking God for the day is an example where we had a chance to give God our first instead of just maybe praying quickly as you got out the door to school.
