Easter/Resurrection Rolls

1 package Crescent rolls
Melted butter
1 package 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.

Have the child dip the marshmallow in melted butter. This represents the oil 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 lightly in the crescent roll (not like the 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 to 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.
