Jacob and me made these great Tarts. They were meant to be rolls but we didn't things to make rolls so we made them tartsish.
Here is the link that lead me to do the activity. Jacob really got the whole concept that Jesus was not there anymore. (probably didn't help with the yucky heart feeling, see other post).

Basically you take a marshmallow (Jesus - pure white), you it in oil (like the oil they put on Jesus' body), you then roll it in sugar and cinnamon (like the spices they put on Jesus' body), then you place it on the pastry dough and roll in up (like they did with the cloth to Jesus' body), you then place it in the oven (the tomb) and for dramatic effect we moved our garbage can in front of the stove (for the big rock in front of the tomb)... then when they are ready to come out... you call the kids back in and tell them that the big rock was moved something must of happen in the tomb.... you take the desert out, and cut one open and the marshmellow (which melted) is gone... just like Jesus in gone from the tomb... he is alive.
You get the idea... if you want to do it check out the link above.
What to Do When You Feel Overwhelmed

I loved this idea and amazingly Chris and I just bought some crescent rolls an hour earlier (we never buy them).
ReplyDeleteSad part is Sydney is very traumatized. She keeps asking "Where did Jesus go" and she won't eat the roll as she thinks he will come back into it! (she didn't have a nap and I think that is why she is so sensitive). We gave her a marshmallow and she is still holding "her Jesus" an hour later!
Thanks for the idea we will do it again next year too.
