Since it is Good Friday, the kids and I got into the kitchen to make some special treats. We made Resurrection Rolls. This is such a great way to talk with your kids about what Jesus did for us on the cross and about the miracle of his resurrection and what this all means for us as believers. My kids loved it! And they were pretty yummy, too!
Here's what ya need:
Crescent Rolls
Regular sized marshmallows
Melted Butter
Cinnamon and Sugar mixture
Explain to them that the marshmallow represents Jesus. I also explained why Jesus died on the cross...for our sins, so that we can live with Him one day. I actually just prompted and they told the story.
Roll the marshmallow in the butter and then in the cinnamon/sugar mixture. This represents how his body was prepared for burial with oils and spices.
Jesus's body was then wrapped in cloths before He was put in the tomb. Wrap your marshmallow in the crescent roll and be sure to seal up the ends really well, or the marshmallow will ooze out and create a gooey mess. Not that I know that from experience or anything.
Put them in the oven and bake according to the instructions on the crescent rolls. We pretended that we were leaving them in for three days.
And what did they find in the tomb on the third day?? Nothing, the tomb was empty!
Have a Blessed Holiday and please remember the real reason that we celebrate.
God Bless
