Easter Resurrection Rolls

1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
2 tablespoons melted butter
8 large marshmallows
cinnamon -- for sprinkling
sugar -- for sprinkling

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. (white)

Have the child dip the marshmallow in melted butter. This represents the oils of embalming.

Then dip the buttered marshmallow 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 bring the sides up and seal the marshmallow inside) This represents the wrapping of Jesus' body after death.

Place in a 350 degree oven for 10 - 12 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 melts and the crescent roll is puffed up, but empty.

That is really neat. Heather and I will have to do that. It is very meaningful and I think they learn better from things like that (hands on)
