When our children were young, we’d make use of tangible ideas to help them better understand what we were trying to teach.  We got one idea from my daughter’s school teacher, who shared a recipe with her class.  The Easter Story can be talked about while you are making this project.  It’s a fun, interactive idea, they taste really good and can be used through the years.  Our children are grown, and we still make them.

All you need:

• large marshmallows
• 3/4 cup melted butter
• cinnamon sugar
• crescent rolls

Melt about 3/4 c of butter, pour cinnamon sugar in a bowl, and have crescent rolls laid out on a plate.  Take one marshmallow and dip it in butter. Then, roll the marshmallow in the cinnamon sugar.  Wrap one crescent roll wedge around the marshmallow, making sure all sides are secure.  Place wrapped marshmallow in non-stick muffin tin, or spray with non-stick spray.  Continue process to make as many as you like.  Bake at 350, for approximately 12 minutes.

This is what the cooked, wrapped marshmallow will look like.

When cooled, cut open the roll and reveal an “Empty Tomb”.  The marshmallow completely melts; it’s no longer seen, thus revealing an empty tomb.  Enjoy!

Earnestly,

Yours
