Another way to share the Easter story with children is by making Resurrection Rolls. These are a great way to get children cooking in the kitchen while teaching them an important story about Jesus and His resurrection. They are yummy to eat too!!Resurrection Rolls
1 package crescent rolls
melted butter
large marshmallows
cinnamon
sugar
melted butter
large marshmallows
cinnamon
sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Give each child a triangle of crescent rolls. The crescent roll represents the cloth that Jesus was wrapped in. Give each child a marshmallow. This represents Jesus and His purity. Have the child dip the marshmallow in melted butter and in the cinnamon and sugar. This represents the spices used to anoint the body. Then wrap up the coated marshmallow TIGHTLY in the crescent roll, not like a typical crescent roll-up, but instead bring the sides up & seal the marshmallow inside. This represents the wrapping of Jesus' body after death. Place in a 350 degree oven for ten to twelve minutes. The oven represents the tomb. Pretend like it was three days! When the rolls have cooled slightly, the children can open their rolls (cloth) and discover that Jesus is no longer there, HE IS RISEN! The marshmallow has melted and the crescent roll is puffed up, but empty.
