Kiddos and Easter

A fun way to teach young children about Easter...  On Easter morning Jesus' followers were amazed to find the tomb empty.  He lives!  Kids love to help in the kitchen... this activity is kid friendly, easy and tastes yummy too!  (The original idea comes from a sweet and wonderful lady from my church.  Thanks Lisa!)

The ingredients.  (Also listed below.)

Easy for my daughter to help... marshmallow in butter, then in cinnamon sugar...

... place on crescent roll triangle.

This is where I helped... pinch in all the seams together tightly so the marshmallow stays in the roll as it melts.

And repeat...

Put them in a preheated oven until they are...

Golden brown... and let them cool!

Where's the marshmallow???

It's not in there...

Ingredients:
1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
8 large marshmallows
1/4 cup melted butter
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons white sugar

Directions:
1. Preheat over to 400 degrees F.  Lightly grease a baking sheet.
2. Separate crescent rolls into individual triangles.
3. In a small bowl, mix together cinnamon and sugar.
4. Dip a marshmallow into melted butter, then roll in sugar mixture.  Place marshmallow into the center of a dough triangle.  Carefully wrap the dough around the marshmallow.  Pinch the seams together tightly to seal marshmallow as it melts.  Place on a baking sheet.  Repeat.
5. Bake in a preheated overn until golden brown... about 15 minutes.

Read the Scripture to your children about how Jesus us alive!  He lives!  Mat.28:1-9

(I plan to post another activity that is great for older children... it's more detailed but a great teachable and creative lesson for kiddos and Easter.)
