Resurection Rolls

These are great for Easter
(We call them Jesus' Tomb's)

• 1 package Croissant rolls
• melted butter
• large marshmallows
• cinnamon
• sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Give each child a triangle of croissant rolls.
The croissant roll represents the cloth that Jesus was wrapped in.

Give each child a marshmallow.
This represents Jesus and His purity.

Have child dip the marshmallow in melted butter.
This represents the oils of embalming.

Dip the buttered marshmallow in the cinnamon and sugar.
This represents the spices used to anoint the body of Jesus.

Wrap the coated marshmallow tightly in the croissant roll
(not like a typical croissant roll up, but bring the sides up and seal the marshmallow inside)
This represents the wrapping of Jesus' body after death.

Place in a 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
The oven represents the tomb (pretend like it was 3 days and nights!)

When the rolls have cooled slightly, the children can open their rolls (cloths) and discover that Jesus is no longer there,

HE IS RISEN!
