Resurrection Rolls

Yesterday afternoon the kiddos and I attempted making Resurrection Rolls for the first time. I had read about them on several different blogs, so I'm not sure who to give the credit to, just know that the idea wasn't mine :) The process was such a great teaching opportunity. C completely understood what I was talking about and what everything represented. AP understood bits and pieces, but loved the hands on part. The end results were pretty yummy, too!

Directions:

• Give each child one triangle shaped section of crescent roll. This represents the tomb.
  
• Each child takes one marshmallow which represents the body of Christ.
  
• Dip the marshmallow in the butter and roll in cinnamon and sugar mixture. This represents the oils and spices the body was anointed with upon burial.

• Lay the marshmallow on the dough and carefully wrap it around the marshmallow.
  Make sure all seams are pinched together well. (Otherwise the marshmallow will "ooze" out of the seams)
  


• Bake according to package directions.
  
• Cool.
  
• Break open the tomb and the body of Christ is no longer there!!
  


• Celebrate God's love!
