This is one of our favorite Easter activities! The kids and I do it every year and it has become a favorite tradition!

Here’s what you’ll need:1. 1-2 cans of crescent rolls2. 8 large marshmallows3. water4. cinnamon and sugar mixed in a bowl
Here’s a simple explanation of it works (taken from yummyhealthyeasy.com)

1. First, gather the kids together (or your significant other, grandparents, aunts, uncle, whoever). Get your ingredients out and preheat the oven to 325(or whatever is recommended on the can). Read John 19 in the New Testament while the oven is pre-heating.
2. Unroll the crescent rolls, separating each section. Explain that this is like the cloth they wrapped Jesus in.
3. Give your child a marshmallow and explain that it represents Jesus. It’s white and pure because He was without sin.
4. Roll the marshmallow in a small bowl of water. This symbolizes the embalming oils.
5. Now, roll the marshmallow in the cinnamon & sugar mixture. This is like the spices used to prepare his body for burial.
6. Next up, wrap the marshmallow in the crescent roll dough, making sure to pinch the dough together securely on the sides. Don’t worry about what they look like because they’ll taste great no matter what! This represents how they wrapped Jesus’ body.
7. Repeat with each marshmallow and place the rolls in the oven (symbolizing the tomb) and bake for the amount of time specified on the package – 8 to 10 minutes.
8. While the rolls are baking, read John 20:1-18.
9. When the cook time is up, open the tomb and remove the rolls. When they’re cool enough to handle, let your child(ren) open one and discover what happened to the marshmallow. It’s disappeared! This signifies how Jesus has been resurrected.

This recipe is SO easy and fun! Your kiddos will absolutely love it!
