Today I’m sharing with you what is one of my kids favorite activities to do around Easter. Resurrection Rolls are a wonderful hands on activity to share the meaning of Easter.
Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 large marshmallows
- Melted butter
- Cinnamon
- Sugar
Directions:
- Give each child one triangle shaped section of crescent roll. This represents the tomb.
- Each child takes one marshmallow which represents the body of Christ.
- Dip the marshmallow in the butter and roll in cinnamon and sugar mixture. This represents the oils and spices the body was anointed with upon burial.
- Lay the marshmallow on the dough and carefully wrap it around the marshmallow.
- Make sure all seams are pinched together well. (Otherwise the marshmallow will “ooze” out of the seams)
- Bake according to package directions.
- Cool.
- Break open the tomb and the body of Christ is no longer there!!
- The tomb is empty! He is risen. He is Risen Indeed. Matthew 28:1-8
My kids are already begging to make these again this year, so hopefully I will soon have some pictures to add.
