Resurrection Rolls
1 roll refrigerator crescent rolls
large marshmallows
melted butter sugar & cinnamon mixture

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Give each child (or child at heart) a triangle of crescent rolls. The crescent roll represents the cloth that Jesus was wrapped in.

Give each person a marshmallow. This represents Jesus (white = purity).

Have the child dip the marshmallow in melted butter. This represents the embalming oils that were put on Jesus.

Then dip the buttered marshmallow in the cinnamon & sugar mix. This represents the spices used to annoint the body of Jesus.

Now wrap up the coated marshmallow tightly in the crescent roll ( not like a typical crescent roll up; bring the three corners up to the top and pinch together to seal the marshmallow inside. This is kinda tricky as it gets buttery and slippery.)

This represents the wrapping of Jesus' body in cloths after his death.

Place the rolls on a cookie sheet and put in the oven at 350 for 10-12 minutes.

The oven represents the tomb - pretend like it was 3 days (it will seem like it to a 3 year-old!)

Take the rolls out and let them cool slightly. (Careful, they can be very hot inside!)

Then give the children their rolls and when they cut or bite into them - they are empty! This represents the empty tomb -

Jesus is not there, he has risen! (The marshmallow blows up and melts into the crescent roll as it bakes, forming the empty roll!
