I have decided our project for Good Friday will be making resurrection rolls. While the Easter bunny is fun, I think it is a good thing to remind our kids what Easter is about. Here is the recipe we will be following:
Ingredients needed:
Crescent rolls
Melted butter
Large Marshmallows
Cinnamon & Sugar
Crescent rolls
Melted butter
Large Marshmallows
Cinnamon & Sugar
* Preheat Oven to
350 degrees
* Give each child one triangle of crescent rolls.
* Explain that he crescent roll represents the cloth that Jesus was wrapped in.
Read Matthew 27: 57-61
* Give each child a marshmallow.
This represents Jesus.
* Have him/her dip the marshmallow in melted butter.
This represents the oils of embalming.
* Dip the buttered marshmallow in the cinnamon and sugar.
This represents the spices used to anoint the body.
* Wrap up the coated marshmallow tightly in the crescent roll (wrap it around the marshmallow, instead of wrapping it like a normal crescent).
This represents the wrapping of Jesus' body after death.
* Place all in a 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes.
The oven represents the tomb. While you are waiting for the rolls to bake, read Matthew 27:62-66.
* Remove rolls from oven and let them cool slightly.
Now the children can then open their rolls (cloths) and discover that Jesus is
no longer there! HE IS RISEN!!!!
(The marshmallow melts and the crescent roll is puffed up, but empty.)
* Now read Matthew 28:1-10
* Give each child one triangle of crescent rolls.
