Here is a neat activity you can do with children to talk to them about Jesus’ death and resurrection!
Resurrection Rolls
Ingredients:
1 can of crescent rolls
1 stick of melted butter
1 package large marshmallows
Cinnamon and sugar
Give each child a crescent triangle. The crescent triangle represents the cloth that Jesus was wrapped in. Give each child a marshmallow; this represents Jesus’ white for sinlessness. Have each child dip the marshmallow in the melted butter, which represents the oils of embalming. Then dip the marshmallow in the cinnamon and sugar, which represents the spices that anointed the body. Then wrap the coated marshmallow lightly in the crescent by bringing the ends in and fold under to completely seal. This represents the wrapping of Jesus’ body. Then place in an oven for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees. The oven represents the tomb. When the rolls have cooled slightly the children open their rolls, representing the cloth and discover that Jesus is no longer there! He is risen! The marshmallows melt away and the roll expands.
Happy Easter!
