After a busy week we were thankful to have a day at home after a few errands to do some Easter activities with the kids. I am thankful for fun, hands-on activities that show them the true meaning of why we celebrate Easter!
This year on Pinterest we saw the Resurrection rolls that I wanted to try out. I have done several other activities that did NOT work so I was hoping this one would. We followed this blog for details on how to do them and read John 19.
They are super easy and not only did it work but tasted great too!
All you need is:
Crescent rolls (I used 2 packages)
Melted butter (about 1/2 stick)
Cinnamon sugar
Large Marshmallows
You roll the marshmallows (representing Jesus) in the melted butter (representing the oils they put on Jesus) and then in the cinnamon sugar (representing the spices) and then wrap each marshmallow (Jesus) in a crescent roll (Jesus' linens). Make sure they are sealed.
I added some cinnamon sugar on top of each one (Brayden said it could represent the dirt ha!) and put it in 350 oven for about 20 minutes. The recipe called for only 10-12 minutes but mine took longer to brown maybe because I put more in there and they were close together.
The marshmallow melts and the inside of the roll is raised, but hollow! Such a neat picture for the kids to picture the empty tomb. And the best part, they are edible and GOOD! It tasted just like a cinnamon roll!
Then we dyed some Easter eggs just for fun. The kids always love doing these and I enjoy all the colors too. This year I will be making deviled eggs from all the eggs.
One of my favorite Easter traditions with the kids is our Resurrection Eggs. I made these several years ago and the kids LOVE to pull them out each year. We ended our fun day with these and anticipate celebrating a Risen Savior tomorrow morning!
And why not go to sleep in a self made tent with the siblings?!
Happy Easter Eve! Sunday's coming!!!
