Empty Tomb Easter Rolls

A great hands-on way to teach kids about Jesus' death and resurrection (and they're delicious too). This is our 3rd year doing this activity and the kids love to make them. They have been asking to make them for weeks. We finally got around to doing it today!

"Jesus Is Risen” Rolls

To help children understand the meaning of Christ’s empty tomb, make this fun and tasty treat.

Ingredients:
1 Can Refrigerated Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
8 Large Marshmallows
Melted Butter
Cinnamon & Sugar Mixture

Directions:

1. Give each person one crescent roll triangle, (this represents Christ’s tomb) and one marshmallow (representing His body).

2. Have each person dip their marshmallow in the melted butter and roll around in the cinnamon and sugar (representing the oil and spices that were anointed on Christ’s body).

3. Next Lay the cinnamon and sugar covered marshmallow onto the crescent roll triangle then carefully wrap, making sure that all seams are closed.

4. Bake on baking sheet or cupcake pan according to package directions and let cool.

5. Break open the ‘tomb’ and show how Christ has risen and the tomb is empty.
