A great way to share the story of Jesus’ resurrection with children of all ages. Enjoy making these and may the miracle of our risen Christ bring you hope.
Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
Ingredients:
1 can Crescent rolls
1/4C Melted butter
8 Large marshmallows
2TBS Cinnamon
2TBS Sugar
Give each child a triangle of crescent rolls. The crescent roll represents the cloth that Jesus was wrapped in.
Read Matthew 27:57-61
1. Give each child a marshmallow. This represents Jesus.
2. Have him/her dip the marshmallow in melted butter. This represents the oils of embalming.
3. Now dip the buttered marshmallow in the cinnamon and sugar which represents the spices used to anoint the body.
4. 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.
5. Place in a 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes. (The oven represents the tomb)
6. Let the rolls cool 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.)
Read Matthew 28:5-8

***NOTE***
Try cutting each marshmallow in half first, and instead of putting rolls straight on a baking sheet, put them into muffin liners. Marshmallows may not ooze out as much this way. Enjoy!
