Easter!

Since I am not using this blog for school anymore I thought I would add our Ressurrection Rolls to the blog.  I like reading Bible stories to the children and teaching them about Jesus.  When I found this recipe on Pinterest I knew I needed to make these with the kids. 

We used cresent rolls, marshmallows, melted butter, and cinnamon and sugar to learn about Jesus' resurrection.  The marshmallow represented Jesus, the butter represented the oil people put on Jesus, the cinnamon and sugar were the embolming spices.  They placed the marshmallow on the cresent roll and wrapped it up.  We placed them in the oven for 12 minutes and when they came out we had a surprise!  The marshmallow was suppose to disappear representing Jesus had risen.  However, the marshmallow just fell out of the roll and was a nice glob next to the rolls! Maybe we didn't have them closed tight enough.  No big deal, we still ate them and discussed what had happened.

The kids were really engaged in this and learned what had happened to Jesus.  They were able to see and understand what we were saying.  Since they saw what happened it made the story clear and they asked many questions that I tried my best to answer. 

I had so much fun with this I am going to make this with the Vacation Bible School children this summer.   Apparently I didn't take any pictures because I can't find any on my camera!
